These are for fun definitely ^^
Why don't try correct & improve your grammar + vocab ?
Saying & writing English slang isn't really a good thing especially when it comes to formal essays [doesn't mean you are good at English either , THAT'S NOT ENGLISH ].

e, don't close this topic, i think it is a great fun to read and try out those close tests. though i haven't posted any answers yet, guess i'm to slow for you guys,
and of course, it does help you improve your Eng, thank you, Roky
to the ones that are oh-so-cool-and-good-at-english, if you don't think it can help you at anything then don't read it, it's just that simple, nobody asked you anyway,
sorry, i'm just kind of mad that someone thinks they are so great and show off ( you can deny it but you know you are) >:P >:P
and i went to this school too, nice to meet you all

Eeeek ... Could you guys please stop criticizing each other ??? Stop fighting , eh !!! :gem4:
Get on with the main topic , please ! Have you all got the answer for that little test above ?

@littleboy_vn88 : can't ignore the fact that I use slang everyday , but I prefer formal English though . That kind of slang (ya, kinda, gotta, coz, dunno ... oh whatever more :bored: ) was originated from the lisp of some Mexican-American, African-American, Indian-English people. Do you like it when that habit get into you :emlaugh: ???

It's me :D. I think this topic also help your english because in Vietnam, there are close test in our exams. So this test may give students experiences to do those. The only problem is that this place is not for chatting. Just do those if you want, just don't waste your time in chatiing.
Have anybody got the answer of bibiut's test?
----------------------------------------------
To be honest, I'm not really interesting in these kind of test. [lolz]

But... really, people still got lots of problem with their grammar n vocab. Try something different or make it various things. I love the vocab tests, like matching the meanings and the words or finding words, ye ye stuff like that :D

make it more complicated like in addition to 5~7 choices, you can add some synonym, antonym, word's family...to make people confused. It would be more challenging, exciting and better cause 5~7 choices it's too easy for people to guest :D.

if nobody like to participate in this topic, it's likely to be closed within 15 days :p
