writing test question

[steeeeve 22]

is it ok to ask the officer to repeat the sentence several times, including in the middle of writing the answer?

 

also how strict are they on spelling?, my wife often forgets to pluralize words

 

thanks

They may repeat it themselves. I think officer said it twice during exam, but I can't be sure. The sentences are short. I think spelling is pretty strict, but I may be wrong.

 

There is a list of sentences they can use. AFAIK, they don't make it up. So she can prepare

we've been practicing and the problem she's having is remembering the exact sentence structure like "Canada is to the north of the United States", then she will invariably write "Canada in north of the United States" or "Canada is in the north of United States" or something like that.

 

stuff that is trivial for a native English speaker can be quite tricky for a foreign speaker. But we have a long time to practice so I guess its good she has me, but for someone without a native English speaker available to help i bet it's very hard
