Record-breaking Petruschka - September 2004

 

Congratulations to Petruschka Meyer. She scored 99 / 100 on the placement test in September.       The highest previous score had been 92. Petruschka is Swiss and teaches technical English. The question she didn't know was an obscure idiomatic expression. You cannot guess the answer to such a question. You either know it or you don't.  Idioms are without doubt one of the most difficult areas of any language to master.   Will anyone score 100%?  Well, maybe one day, but I think your record will stand for a long time, Petruschka.  Well done.       © The Lewis School of English 2004  |  Email |  Home ▲ Top ▲
