Thank you very much Sally, I managed to score 130 on the first try with the help of your content. As non-native English speaker, I am very glad that I found your content a night before the exam.
Thank you, teacher Sally! My native language is Russian, I am practising every day with your videos and all in all I've recently made no mistakes in the dictation! So cool, greatly love your videos!:)

1- Park the car beside the building 2- They were lucky, they thought, as they laughed among themselves. 3- It can be very loud in the city. 4- People enjoy eating chocolate more when they are depressed. 5- Outside, even through the window, the world looks cold. 6- Do you believe in luck? 7- More than half of the students at the school are recent immigrants. 8- He has written songs for many artists. 9- I did not receive the message in time. 10- The bear stopped and stared at him, but made no move to run away.
Thank you Sally!... I am more than happy to find your videos. I am in the process to take again the Duolingo test, and you Sally are the best giving tips, practices, examples on how to work during the test. I will try again test in some days, and I feel I will be more prepared now than in my previous 2 tries where I did not get the score I was expecting (115 ).
Thanks for the video. I needed a new icebreaker exercise for a new student I'm teaching. This is a fun, interactive way to test most of the skills right from the beginning. Cheers
Teacher Sally, I went through the test once but I found quiet a few bigger sentences therein the listening portion and the most prominent thing was, the sentences were spoken faster. Would you please make a video with such resources and materials that we can cope up with the difficulty level of the real test, mam? And thanks for everything you are trying to help us with.
I will do more dictations. I have a couple in this channel. Everyone gets such different sentences depending on their level, but yes I will make a video with difficult dictations.
Hi mam. I got my result yesterday. Ihave required score also. I would like to express my gratitude for helping me to get this excellent result 👍 Thank you❣️
Hello Ms. Sally, thanks for help us to improve our English. In the question number 4 it has a mistake because at the first time you said the word "eating" but a the end in the answers you didn't say it. could you check it please.
Thank you Sally, I am watching your videos many times per day. I am trying to improve my score in Duolingo, I have tried twice (105 and 110) but I still haven't be able to get the score I need :( (115) Your videos are very helpful.
@@TeacherSally The Conversation section is my weakness. I need to improve my listening and speaking, also I need to use an advanced vocabulary. I feel hard try to get that score, I know I'm close but I cannot improve much. But I'm still trying :)
@@natalyhidalgo1367 The speaking sections are hard. It's hard to think that fast! I think there are a couple of options for boosting the score. You could work on a section that's not your best but not your worst. My thought is that if you're already fairly good at it, then it may be easier to boost up a bit. The other option is to pick one of your weaker skills to focus the most effort on. Good luck! I know you can do it!!
Thank you so much teacher Sally for help people around the world. You are swetie and I like so much the way you teach. Congratutions for the channel and contents!
Excuse me, a question. Is this practise useful to improve what exaclty? and plus, is this practise positive to improve any level? From the beginning to the advaced? Let me know if you can !!! In the meantime, I subscribe your channel. Very productive one!
Most of the videos on my channel so far are specifically for an English test called the Duolingo English Test. These are specific to that test, but practicing the questions is also useful for general English practice. I am planning some upcoming videos that are not specific to a particular test. Thank you for subscribing to my channel. You can also request any specific video types that you’d like me to make 😺 welcome to my little RUclips family!
You won’t be marked down for not putting punctuation, but as to whether or not it gives more points, I really don’t know. It’s a good question. I’ll try to ask them and see if they will respond to me. 😺
Hi dear, thanks for your continuous effort and support by replying the answer once we ask question in the comment section. It means really a lot to us and admittedly, i am loving your assistance! Would you mind helping me sort out a problem? While i take a 15 minute sample test, i get 110-135, what does it mean exactly? Do i need to improve lot more? Thanks in advance!
I'm glad you are enjoying my channel and finding my replies helpful! I'm trying to keep up 😉 The practice test score is a range. They say that its a guess of the lowest to highest score you could get on the real test considering the questions and length will be different. Basically, it seems like people usually score in the middle of that number.
Dear Sally, thank you. It is really helpful. Is there any option where i can share my speaking records and writing sections with and if you can comment and evaluate them.
@@TeacherSally thank you for your kind response. Will it be possible to set a complete test set. I am planning to appear on 27th Monday. Request you to prepare the same if possible. Plz
It was helpfull, many time ago I was looking for this kind of dictate, I saw that I have many problems with the identification of past times. I'm almost not even to listen those "ed" sometimes, just when I got totally the context actually, at least I got the most of the words. I hope to keep working with this channel.
Excelente práctica. Muchas gracias por compartir. En "More than half of students AT the school are recent immigrants". Me cuesta escuchar el "at", parece decir "of" en el minuto 7. Tengo que afinar más el oído.
Hi Sally you are doing really great job for that who are struggling for duolingo test. I have a request ,could you make videos dictation practice according to duolingo dictations like three time repeat in one min?.
Hii! Mam will i get some points for what i had written as if i am not able to write full sentence because of high vocabulary spoken by them or i missed due to fast pace.??
How many questions are in the listening? How much time we have for writing the answer of listening question? How I write the answer like this, I didn't receive the message in time (but I listen sentence in this form), or, I did not receive the message in time.
As far as how many questions like this, it varies. Some people may only get one dictation question, but others will get more. There isn't a fixed number for any question because the test changes for each person. As I said in the video, you have a minute total for each dictation question and you're right, the answer is "I didn't receive the message in time." If you were to write did not in stead of didn't or didn't in stead of did not, it wouldn't be a big difference, so don't worry too much.
Thank you Ma'am! (Teacher Sally). I have seen all your videos and it have helped me a lot. Can you please tell me if I don't put any commas in the sentence, will that do?
Hello dear teacher💞 I have 100% only 5. In the rest one word or 2 is not correct 🙄 Is it like in the exam? If the error is in one word then there will be no point?
Sally, First of all, I would like to thank you for these awesome videos. I have one question. That is: When we are writing the dictation is it necessary or important to write the punctuation marks. for example comma. If we don't write shall there be a deduction of marks ??
Hello there, What will be the best practice to improve my spelling writing ? I have a issues to write a correct spelling when ever I use pen & paper.!let me know how I can remove this error! Thanks
Spelling in English is annoying! I would advise to start by reading through the rules, but. know they don't always work since English borrows words from other languages. This site is a good place to start: grammar.yourdictionary.com/spelling-and-word-lists/spelling-rules.html Another way is to look at commonly misspelled words and learn those: grammar.yourdictionary.com/spelling-and-word-lists/misspelled.html
Hi sally, your video is really helpful. My target score is 105 for my admission, but I got 90-95, 90-100 score in the practice test. I don't know that when is the appropriate timing to take this test.. :/
I really am not sure. Usually the actual score is in the middle of the range score from the practice test. Do you know what skill is the most difficult for you and which ones are the easiest?
Teacher, please: Grammatically, the correct thing would not be to start the sentence 01 with "Parking" instead of "Park"? PARKING THE CAR BESIDE THE BUILDING.
"Park the car beside the building" is a command and uses simple present. You could say "He is parking the car beside the building" to express an action in progress, but you would need to add a subject. In my example the subject is understood to be "you."
Thank you very much Sally, I managed to score 130 on the first try with the help of your content. As non-native English speaker, I am very glad that I found your content a night before the exam.
I'm glad you did, too! Congratulations on your great score!!
Notice- the answer to sentence 4 should include "eating"- thank you Antonio!
yep, I've noticed too...we forgive you just because your videos are extremely helpful hehe.
@@paulinavegat I'm glad they are useful! I need to do a better job of proofreading, though! That's my goal for my next few videos! haha
Yeah I was just thinking about the same thing 😅 otherwise it was really helpful
Absolutely! I first wrote the missing word and then I erased it. :s
I noticed it too
Thank you, teacher Sally! My native language is Russian, I am practising every day with your videos and all in all I've recently made no mistakes in the dictation! So cool, greatly love your videos!:)
That's a great success!

Question marks, commons, fullstops
Is this can be left out or compulsory.
It’s better if you include them. Duolingo told me they don’t count as much as the words, but they do count.
