Hello everyone! 

I have noticed that some English learners opt to take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in order for them to determine their skills in the English language. A failing mark usually encourages them to study more while a passing mark tells them that they have already learned English very well.

What do you think about these tests? Do you think they're effective in determining how much a person knows about the English language?

Do you prefer British English or American?

For me, it's definitely British English. It just sounds classier and more sophisticated to me.
