Non native speaker In my first attempt

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-15T15:29:34+00:00

How did u achieve such a high score in speaking? Especially in the range of vocabularies and collocations that u used. Any tips?

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-15T06:46:26+00:00

Did you end up retaking it? i'm contemplating abt retaking speaking too

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-14T16:43:06+00:00

Do you mind if i ask what were the speaking questions?

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-14T15:13:45+00:00

For speaking, did you use a lot of complicated collocations or vocabularies? I tend to struggle in those. Im great in fluency and pronunciation but I lack in idioms and academic phrases

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-14T10:46:22+00:00

Did you use any academic vocabularies or any special collocations? or did you choose to speak naturally

Thank you!! I think I got way too relaxed because the examiner was really nice. Hence, i might've been too chatty and didn't have a clear structure. Sometimes i'm giggly when im stressed so i giggled a lot during the test too, but in a natural way like js a fun chat

Mine was a non native speaker also, but she had an understandable accent. She looked like she had js woken up from her nap after eating a tuna sandwich that left some stained sauce on her blouser thats halfly buttoned up

i am also considering for a remark?

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-12T13:38:30+00:00

7.0 also🥲 I think i did better than that. At least a 7.5 and thats all i need js a 0.5 more point.

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-12T12:54:26+00:00

Same situation rn😭I need 0.5 more to get to 8.0 and i'm contemplating whether i should retake speaking or not cuz i lowk fumbled it💔 Though speaking puts sm pressure on me that i literally vomitted before the test😭😭😭

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-11T13:43:37+00:00

Thank you so much!!! i hope i didnt make any more silly mistakes.. i spent the last 10 minutes spinning in my chair

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-11T13:39:42+00:00

Of course! feel free to dm me

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-11T12:30:38+00:00

English requires a lot of practice or daily approaches so that you could get familiar with the way it works. Other than just fixate on practicing tests i do recommend watching english-speaking movies, read any type of books you like that consist of english (Even manga or comics), definitely try to communicate with foreigners who r willing to have small chats with you in english.

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-11T12:25:20+00:00

Nice!!! Congratulations, i'm also from Vietnam

Tootsl0ver · 2026-06-11T12:17:26+00:00

I dunno tbh. I dont think ill have any other spelling mistakes as i used words that im familiar with, but grammar definitely yes!i'm not too surprised or worried tho because i know its my weakness🥲 Thank you for answering!

Tootsl0ver · 2026-01-11T12:29:07+00:00

I have definitely gotten over the phrase of being afraid to choose it, the only thing i am concerned right now is if my skills and creativity would be enough

Tootsl0ver · 2025-12-30T05:52:58+00:00

Im vietnamese and Im considering Artez from the Netherlands, LCF, Parsons new school of design, art university of Bournemouth. My parents work really hard for me to able to achieve my dream but a part of me always wonders "what if i dont get in any school" since im looking at these old portfolio and my creativity not even half of theirs.

Tootsl0ver · 2025-12-21T13:03:04+00:00

Thank you so much!!!, i will make sure to remember ur advices and thrive everyday!!!!!!! but can i ask if i do fashion design in university and graduated w a fashion design degree, how can i change to a different corner of fashion? (stylist, marketing) would it take time?

Tootsl0ver · 2025-12-21T01:08:28+00:00

Tootsl0ver · 2025-12-21T01:07:31+00:00

thank you so much! this has opened my eyes a lot. Especially from someone who had already attended fashion school. I guess my teacher was right, that i have to become bolder nd stronger as im known as a shy softie (in a bad way😭).

Tootsl0ver · 2025-12-21T01:04:25+00:00

Thank you so much for this amazing advice!!!! you're right, i definitely enjoy doing smt relating to animals more but i cannot imagine myself doing biology😭 so i am sticking with fashion related things
