Hi there,
I could do with some help because I have some problems with the Wirting Test 2. If there is the question to what extend you agree or disagree do I only need to write the pro arguments then for example. Or always both sides?

Hello mehdi,
I think with only two weeks to go, you need to be realistic about how much you can improve. However, even if you don't get the score you need or want, you will learn about the exam, and should be in a better position to take it again in the future.
 
As for some advice - I always tell my students to listen to or read the questions carefully! Many students lose marks by not answering the question properly.
 
Good luck, and let us know how you get on with your exam!
 
Regards,

Hi,
I have doubt in using "need" & "want". In what situation i need to use "want" & "need". 
Which one is correct:
I need a coffee or I want a coffee

Hello ramesh,
 
First, thanks to honortracey for pointing out the difference between the two words.
 
I would also add that we sometimes use need ​to express that we really want something. For example, when I've been teaching all day, and still have one more lesson, I would say ​I really need a coffee! ​I won't die without one, but it will help me through the next two hours!
 
There is an example and definition of this use of need in the ​Cambridge Dictionaries Online ​function, on the right of the page.
 
Regards,
