i want to get the answer from English natives. Last year, I have succeeded in getting my highest mark on TOEIC over 900. But TOEIC only consists of reading and listeing, it can't assist my English speaking and writing - and last week, i have started to study IELTS. I planned to study abroad next year , mainly the U.K, and i want to build my basic English skills for fully understanding general conversations and university' lectures when i'm in English native countries. So, if i prepare steadily english speaking and writing at least over 4 months for this, can i afford to get pretty fluent and understanding abilities? moreover, i also consider applying for the lectrues from here Italki instructors. Can you help the seeking one? Thank you for reading and sorry for my poor English.
