Present continuous to discuss action frequency

I saw the following on an ESL test:

John: How often …………… ?

Dave: He …………… at least five days a week.

a) does he exercise - swims

b) is he exercising - is swimming

c) is he exercising - swims

d) does he exercise - is swimming

I think both a and b are acceptable and the test isn't standard. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

I´ve taken the tkt exams, modules 1, 2 and 3. Today I got a notification about module 4 and 5, dates and prices if I want to take the tests. The thing is that I don´t know anything about this modules but I´m interested in taking them. What are they about? Any sources where I could get more information or get prepared for the exams?

Matching Exercises Anyone?

eltcommunitysupport@pearson.com — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:52:21 GMT

Does anyone know of any places where I can source good matching exercises for exams?

For example, those questions where they describe 5 people who want to choose a restaurant to eat in

and then give 8 possible restaurants as options.

I am developing some exams but find these questions hard to locate and to create.

cheers for any help,

Kev

Teaching Exam classes

Teaching exam classes can be tricky. You might have multi-lingual, mixed ability students with varying degrees of motivation all in one class. One of the biggest challenges I found with the IELTS prep classes I taught in China was getting quite low level students who expected to pass the IELTS with a 6 or 7 in a very short period of time.

What kind of challenges do you face in your exam prep classes? How do you deal with them?

Looking forward to hearing from you!
