What's up dear??

Wowwww!!! What an amazing listening! I'm astonished and delighted at the same time... 'cos I need to improve my listening skills ;)

8/10 not bad, but I've failed the number five, I thought there were Officials instead policemen... and I was pretty sure 8/10 not bad, but I've failed number five, I thought there were Officials instead policemen... and I'm quite sure my answer is correct, could be??

Because as listening carefully after doing the test, I understood Officials again. Could you clarify my doubt?? Thx in advance.

Anyway, good contribution this kind of exercises, 'cause final exams are coming. I don't know how I might be able to show you all my gratitude for your effort and dedication with your incredible supporting Blog.

Forever and ever you will be my teacher, and I never ever will cease to be your pupil.

Kisses,

Carla

Dear Carla,
You really flatter me with those words...
One of the few things I've learnt in this life is that being a good teacher doesn't mean you must know the answer to all the questions...
Recently I've heard that not even GOD does(what has saddened me badly).

For one thing I have no idea what the difference between 'officials' and 'policemen' is. If you could please tell me, maybe I'll be able to solve the doubt...

And hey, you got 8 out of ten!!!you did better than myself!!(LOL)
See you!
