Skim reading for IELTS and Cambridge exams
In IELTS and Cambridge exams, you are required to read several texts of considerable total length. This can be a daunting task for students and you may feel that you don’t have time to read everything.
You’ve probably heard the terms skim reading and scan reading and are probably aware that these skills are important when answering questions on a text. But what is skim reading? Is it just reading quickly or trying to find specific words in a text?

Which or That? The grammar rules
In certain phrases in English, you can use “which” or “that” such as, “Monday is the day that/which I hate the most!” However, sometimes you can only use “which”. For example: “I’m from Moscow, which is the capital of Russia.”
The good news is that you can always use “which”, although most native English speakers prefer to use “that” whenever it’s possible. In this blog, we’re going to examine the grammar rules that govern the use of these annoying little words that cause so much confusion for students.
Cambridge CAE exam
The Certificate in Advanced English is accepted globally by thousands of employers, universities and government agencies as proof of your level of English. Many industrial, administrative and service-based employers accept the CAE and universities recognise that candidates with a Certificate in Advanced English have the necessary language skills to study at degree level in English.
One advantage to the CAE is that once you have the qualification it does not expire, unlike the IELTS exam which is only valid for 2 years. The CAE has life-long validity.
