english languagae

Is English one of your Foreign languages? then I would advice you to improve your knowlesges in vocabularies. In 'further' English (Advanced Level) there might be some unknown words in a long text which have to be understand well to get a good text apprehension.

Otherwise write your exact problems/lacks in English up, so I am able to give you better advices.

I really need to boost my English language grade to a B,could someone give me some pointers and key aspects to consider. Thanks :smile:

Try adding more better vocabulary into your work, more devices e.g. similes, metaphors, different sentence structure. Don't know what else :/
Try as hard as you can in controlled assessments that's the main one to help get a B since they basically make up your grade.

If you want to improve your English as foreigner, I would advice you too to learn some (useful) idiomatic expressions like

- Everything at proper time
- Here's to you!
- at any rate
- by no means

and so on...

i am in the same situation as you, and i would definitely say extend your vocabulary. So what ever the word was you were going to use go on to the online thesaurus and it will give you loads of similar words. I did this in shakespeare and came out with an a. However, don't let your grammar and punctuation slip.

omg thank you so much for the link
