Re: Off Topic....Anything Goes vol3
Is the Cambridge test widely used then or did you guys all apply there?
I could PM a reading list if you want. 
Also, not sure why there is brochures etc on the tests, most people over here struggle with those aspects at GCSE level which is why A* grades in English are so rare over here and so few people pursue it. Maybe they want to know where your at compared to native speakers but IMO its a bit too much.

Just give me a fucking essay to write.

76% is impossible for me I guess

There is Cambridge that has 3 levels - First, Advanced & Proficiency. First is basically a non-entity, with Advanced you can apply to universities, passing Proficiency you may practice teaching granted in some 3rd worl country. Then there are IELTS & TOEFL which are considerably easier but they expire in 2 years' time hence they are mainly sit just for unis.
The writing task are really weird and unorthodox.

I was mad as fuck when I got it. I was so lazy and neglected the writing; need just 4 % for an A.

That's where you're wrong! Isn't that what we call a UST (unresolvable sexual tension) Debby

Re: Off Topic....Anything Goes vol3
I read the title of the video, but I refuse to go further than that  What is wrong with that woman?! Why does she feel the need to show that to the whole world?!

Re: Off Topic....Anything Goes vol3
is it worse than 2g1c? I remember after seeing that I was retching randomly (I had to google how was it in english lol) because it kept coming up to my mind 
I also saw some SERIOUSLY disturbing shit on reddit etc, like death related things but somehow it didn't hit me so hard as 2g1c.. I guess it's still the most disgusting thing i've seen
so basically now I'm just curious about this  eventually I'll watch it because I'm too curious and can't resist  and I'm SOOOO going to regret it
edit: the human centipede could be worse than 2g1c actually, I know what it is but never looked for it online to watch it
