Question to Test: Incomplete Sentences, Advanced Level, No 001
correct answer: Job losses are mainly in the blue-collar sectors of the industry.
What is blue-collar sector of the industry? Best wishes |
In contrast to white collar - clerical, admin - office workers etc blue- collar is a fancy word for manual workers. It comes from the colour of overalls and other clothing used in manual labour. _________________ English as a Second Language You can read my ESL story Present Simple |

Dear Alan! I live in Sofia, Bulgaria. I learn English at school, but my knowledge is not a good :( I need very much your beautiful tests, but for beginners. I find your site as very important and interactive. I visit it almost every day and make the tests, but intermediate and advanced levels are very difficult for me yet.
Best wishes from Bulgaria Niki |

| Hi Niki, What language do you speak in Bulgaria, Bulgarian I take it? It's a Slavic language similar to Russian, isn't? What's the current population in the country? :D |

Hi Niki,
I'm glad that you are enjoying the tests. Work hard, read as much English as you can and I'm sure you will be able to do the intermediate tests soon.
Best wishes

Hi Poet,
Thanks for your email and please don't apologise for taking up time. That's not necessary. We're just pleased that you have taken the trouble to write in the first place. It's people like you that make the whole site worthwhile. You can work away and put tests online but until someone like you bothers to write, we don't know who's using the tests.
Good luck in your further study of English

Dear Poet, I'm pleased to me you. It's so exciting to get feedback from people all around the world. As Alan said, it's you - our users, students and partners, who make our project worthwhile and useful. So, yes please do go ahead and ask questions regarding the English language. In this subforum here Alan focusses on answering questions concerning his tests. He also will give you explanations as why a particular answer is correct. The other forum 'What would you like to talk about?' is an open forum and you can talk about any subject as long as you stick to Netiquette and use your English :) See you at the forum Torsten

Dear poet,
We are all learning something every day..including the correct usage of a language. In my opinion, only PRACTICE will give us more confident in using a language in public. If we do the tests with an interest to improve our English, then all these tests are becoming very tasty.
The tests in this website are wonderful. I hope all of us are enjoying a free treat from the founders of this useful web-project.
Thanks to Mr. Alan and his effective team for their incomparable works in designing and developing all these tests for us.
Let us make a better future with better language.. _________________ Sahid59
