Why I am here: Hello, my name is Vivian an I joined italki.com to improve my English. In October I want to study English and German at University to become a teacher. But before I'm able to study English I have to pass the IELTS from Cambridge University. My University in Germany wants me to qualify myself, so that they know I'm able to speak English on academic-level quite well. My passive vocabulary is very good, I'm reading English books and newspapers without problems, but my active vocabulary isn't as good as I want it to be. So I joined italki.com to improve primarly my writing and speaking-skills.
