    Hey guys,
    I'm sitting the english language exam in June 2012 and have been trying to revise. I know I can get into the form of things once I know how to answer the questions. Can anyone give me tips on how to answe question 1, which is usually a 'what do you learn' question.
    Thanks a lot.

    errg your lucky im sitting my english language exam this may and im freaking out. Question one is about retrieving information so the question asks you something particular that you need to pick out from the text. It has 4 bullet points on it. all you have to do is search for that particular information and write in your own words make it short remember you don't have much time. make sure the information is related to the question and you should be fine .
