Here's a keyword table for the two most recent exercises that I put here on the blog. Click here to see one of them, and here to check the other.

Note: Don't just have a quick look at this table. Look carefully at the vocabulary, and make a note of anything useful.

Hallo Simon, / Dear all,
I have questions to ask you, about correct the mistakes, have you the same feeling as like as me when I read the questions at first, quickly realized the mistake, but not sure mistakes is? such as grammar, expressions and unnatural phrase, e, g has more budget is wrong (budget: countable Noun 'bigger budgets are correct), If governments help is wrong (IF: Second condition, If governments helped is correct) and lose popularity to... is sound strange (comparison: less popular than is correct).
secondly, writing task 2: about task response while I read it usually coming out of main idea soon, then get down them. but sometimes think those are simple it is referencing the questions about writing task 2 (e g. two part question: movie, my first hand: famous director, actor, special effects.... etc..) briefly, my question is can trust the first feeling of brainstorm to be the main idea when we do the exam.
in my opinion,,perhaps, it is losing confidence or practicing not enough , please comment !

Hi Simon,
I have a question about "to order".Does the "order"in the phrase mean to do something as a verb?
thanks a lot!
