about LPI

I was too tired yesterday, so I didn't write about the test, Language Proficiency Index.

I took the test because I need to have some curtain score to take an English course at Uvic. This test is for the one who aren't well for English and need to have its score for a university or some institutions in BC.

The full score is 5 and there are 4 parts in the test.
The first 2 parts are the questions about English grammar and usage. There are ten sentences in each part, and these sentences may have an error. If there is an error, we need to darken a circle under that part, but if there is no error, then we should darken a correct mark locating the right side of the sentence.

In part 3, there are five short paragraphs.
We need to answer the questions about 2 paragraphs and write a summary for other three paragraphs.
Then in part 4, we need to write an essay which should be between 300 and 400 words. We can choose a topic from the listing (usually there are three topics to choose).

I didn't do well for the essay, and I don't have enough confidence for the first 2 parts either. So I need to work more hard for next LPI in two weeks.
