CAE again

0Hello teachers of EnglishForward, I've been so impulsive to sign up for CAE in June.02br
02br
00I went to the British Institute in my town to test my level, and they said I could try with CAE: but they didn't test my writing!!!02br
02br
00I've never written anything in English really, so you can immagine how bad my writing is.02br
02br
00I'm trying to write something every week, I'll be really gratefull if somebody could correct me.02br
02br
00You already did it one week ago: thanks a lot.02br
02br
00I'm practising on some CAE pastpapers. I hope it's fine if I don't write the tasks, but they are very long.02br
02br
00Thank you in any case (can I say this?).02br
