VOCABULARY
If we compare learning a language to building a house, we can say that words are like bricks & grammar is the correct way of laying those bricks.
However, to make our house solid, we need cement. That «cement» is pronunciation. A clear & articulate pronunciation will help you to:
◦ Avoid embarrassing situations
◦ Score higher on your exams
◦ Always say what you mean & mean what you say
WRITING
If you've seen any of my trainings you know that I'm a big believer in keeping your mock tests as close to the real exam as possible.
Writing your essays on official writing answer sheets is a good example. Not only does it put you in the correct "exam mindset" psychologically, but it also makes it easier to visually control your word count.
