Emails from my students

"Hi Polly,

OK, we will begin with the numbers and your name. As I will have IELTS test, I think you can help me get prepared with my oral. Actually it's simple, you can just act as my oral test examiner and I talk you some topics. Sometimes I am so nervous facing examiner that I can't speak correctly. Consequently, you can help me get rid of this kind of fear and alter my prounciation. I am a little shy and insufficient of self-confidence.Thank you so much for your help.

:)
