001) "I'd like some informations about your courses".02br

0Hi,02br 02br 00If you don't mind my saying so, I wonder if the point of this test is to assess what you, personally, can do. 02br 02br 00Do you really want your instructors to think that your teaching and grammar skills are better than they really are? PerhaPs that means they won't give you the help that you need.
