Its far from perfect but this is the best i could do. I hope it prevents me from biting my nails atleast for a couple of days lol

Hello lovely people,

I gave my second attempt within almost 1 month of appearing for the first, because i felt the first one didnt truly represent where i stand - reason being - i was very afraid to speak back then, didnt follow any structure, tenses, different types of questions, and i asked very basic questions in Task A and Task B i wasn't able to understand the examiner which was quite evident. I didnt even practice any writing , the most i did was read through a couple of task A examples a night before.

This time i practiced speaking almost every day with a tutor on preply, and he told me that i have improved a lot within 1 month and I am at B1 approaching B2.

For writing as well, i practiced some structures for task B, i didnt do much practice for task A because i hear its weightage is less.

While 1 see some improvement in writing score, my speaking score is worse even tough after the exam i was satisfied with my performance and was secretly hoping for clb 5 this time.

I always am very prudent when it comes to expectations. I try to be as realistic as possible. So seeing A2 in speaking was worse than a heartbreak this time.

Its been over 1 year that i have been preparing for french and 5 months of rigrous exam practice. Still, somehow my brain is not able to make sense of this.

Even for listening, i am literally struggling at B1 level questions no matter how much i practice.

Please advise and help your buddy here.

Please let me know what worked for you and how you broke through this situation.

This journey is slowly killing me now

I have been seeing this girl on Instagram, and she looks very pretty.

I initially thought she must have been raised in Canada based on how freely she lives her life and, obviously, her aesthetics. Turns out she is an immigrant. However, I don't understand how immigrants are able to afford such a lifestyle at such young ages in a foreign country where most of the people end up struggling to pay off their bills. Now i know some people do really good in their lives and thats the exact thing i want to know - what did she do? Lmao.

Does anyone know her? And does anyone know what she does besides her influencer job? She only has 119k followers, so I would assume she works another job, as I have heard people complaining that influencing doesn't pay much in Canada.

Also, she seems pretty sweet based on her face. I'm curious to know if that's actually the case.
