Hey Luke, like many others I just wanted to come back to one of your videos to say thanks.I practiced with your videos for about a week and scored 150 on my first try. To anyone about to write the test, don't panic, and watch this guy's videos. You'll be golden.

Hey, Teacher Luke and whoever is reading this! I just got my overall results, and I couldn't be happier! I got a 140, which is way beyond I thought I was capable of achieving. This class made a HUGE difference for me, and I am positive that I would not score this high if I hadn't watched Luke's videos. Take close attention, guys. This teacher is AMAZING!

Hi Teacher Luke, I want to take this opportunity to thank you, for providing these classes. I just did my test the other day and proud to say I have passed. I followed through and practiced at the sametime, the efforts and time has finally pay. I highly recommend. Am grateful.

[@rhomatulloo13]

Hello Luke. I hope you’re good. I just wanted to let you know that you are an amazing teacher and THANK YOU for helping us for our Duolingo English Test. I watched your videos and practiced online for about 3-4 days and i scored 140 on the test only because of your videos and help! Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to score that much without having watched your videos online. Thanks again and keep on doing the great job that you are currently doing 👍💯

I wish I could comment on all the videos that I watched... all the videos were truly truly, undoubtedly helpful!!!! I had a week to prepare. I got 135, the mark was low because of my nerves ( I won't go onto detail🤢). 135 is great, the productive score was the low one at 110, and I understand why. Apart from my nerves, I do advise everyone to watch your videos and prepare or even sign up on your website. I also listened to audio books and educational podcasts and watched documentaries. Ladies and gentlemen, you will be fine

Of course knowing the test is mandatory, but I feel that you need more English per se than the other ones... it was easier to get a CLB 11 in celpip than a 130 in duo lingo, for me.

One of the most amazing hobbies to me is playing football with my friends in the weekends. My university friends and I book a time in a stadium which is close to my home in order to play football and have a fun for a while. Furthermore, I love playing football as an amazing hobby since my childhood, however, in world cup 2018, I watched a lot of football and it made me to like it more. Turning to the next question, I do it with my university's friends often but I do it with my brother's friends as well. Also, I don't play it just because I like it, but also I play football because it's a good way to exercise.

This is a photo of a campfire by several people in the forest at night. In the background, I can see tall and thick trees just behind the people. Also, there is a quite light blue sky behind the trees. In the middle, people are surrounding the campfire, looks chilling and comforting. If I had to guess, I'd say it can create a campfire circle if more people join it. Some people are wearing worm long sleeves, on the other hand, only one person who is sitting second from left is wearing dark colored short sleeves, it looks like a T-shirt for summer. So I guess that person must be got hot during the campfire. I can't guess the exact time of this photo, at the same time, I can speculate by the short and pretty small fire and people's calm faces, that it might be the end of the campfire.
