So, what are you to expect about the IELTS Speaking test?The speaking te
You may recall that I've been trying to track down current and legitimate research on the fear of public speaking.

At about two years of age, a child is likely to abandon his made-up words for "real" words. Before age two, Ethan called his blanket "mok". At two plus, we corrected him and he started to call his blanket "tumok". Oh well. The two year old's sentences may still be telegraphic but he can now use as many as four words in sequence, sometimes right smack in the standard subject-verb-object order. Here
