SEE in paper 4, u have to study 2 very important things and ull be perfect:

1)Grammar: u have to study the verbs like perfect, future, imperfect, etc....

2)Vocabulary: Learn as much vocab as u can...if u use the book Encore Tricola, it would be more than perfect!!


 :) :D Calm down and ull be alright inshallah!!

also learn as many idioms as possible because i'm sure some sort of story writing is going to pop up.

any more websites or notes..please... ;D

I hear that people make up sentences that go with any topic. Then the just write them in the exam and score high marks for each line!
Does anyone have set sentences.

Yes, that is what is there in the MS
U will get the mark only for the first time you use it, then repeats will not be awarded marks
