The Duolingo English test is the newest English proficiency test available for English students to take in order to get an official English score. You usually need to take a test like the Duolingo English test before applying for universities and colleges.
This new Duolingo English test is made specifically for those who need to get an official English score to study at a university or college. It’s similar to the IELTS and TOEFL; however, even though this test is quite new, it is accepted by a lot of universities around the world. You can go to their website to find out whether the university you want to attend to accepts the Duolingo English test or not.

@@TeacherLuke-DET The image depicts the grocery store. Firstly, I am seeing a woman who carries a bag with a cart. She wore a blue dress. Of course, she is here for shopping and glancing near the aisles of pineapples thinking hard about whether to buy one or not. It seems like she has a hard time choosing pineapples. Oranges are next to pineapples. The image is blurred from the behind. Therefore, I am able to see a blurry image of a man who wore a black shirt and a white pants.

I would like to express my happiness to teacher Luke! You’re such a great human being, may your surroundings blessed you well. I’ve studied for the past two weeks by just watching all of your videos! (LITERALLY ALL OF THEM😋) I’ve got the 135 overall score - Literacy (140) - Comprehension (135) - Conversation (135) - Production (140) Although I was kind of scared about the scores but I guess it’s more than enought than what I’ve expected! Special thanks to you Teacher Luke, you guided us so well, specifically on the production section that people usually find kind of difficult (but I guess I managed to get a sufficient 140 score for it). I know my comment is too long, but I do hoped that people that were enrolling to this exam to be relaxed but prepared at the same time. In addition to Teacher Luke, you are a true hero for us! Keep doing this! You never know how people are so grateful for what you’ve create.

Thank you so much for the informative video! For the 1st picture: The picture shows a woman shopping for food in the fruit section. She is starring at a bunch of pineapples at the left of her body. She might be dealing with her mind whether buy it or not, yet at the same time, pushing the troller to move straight forward to other sections of food. For the 2nd picture: This is a picture of a man who is writing a note about something. It looks like he is doing a meeting, because there is a laptop in front of him, and he probably writing about important sentences from the speaker of the meeting. He seems focused on doing his job during the workday.

This picture depicts, a white tall woman with brown hair, wearing a blue-grown & a white color bag on her back, and she is holding a red-colored shopping trolly. That lady visited the local grocery market and looking towards the left side button. Additionally, She has fixed her vision towards a couple of ripe pineapples. In the left-hand corner, there are some black grapes are also there in the tray. However, she is in a dilemma whether to pick the ripe pineapples and put them into the shopping basket or not. In addition to that, she is also having a plan to bargaining with the price to the owner of the shop or not. In the background of the image its shows that a man is sitting with huge numbers of ripe mangoes to sell their product in that grocery market. On the other hand, most probably the photograph has been taken by a professional photographer to put this image on a news ad agency page or to put this into electronic media or into a social media platform tor making the promotion of the grocery brand. English Teacher Luke, I am requesting you please rate my writing on a scale of 10.

Hello teacher Luke. I would like your assistance. First , how is the difference between describe the image and write one or two sentences from the image. Second, how I can improve my general scores in the practice test ? Just my second score are still increasing. For example: 75-95, 75-105, etc.

[@TeacherLuke-DET]

HI, there are two "describe an image" tasks, one for speaking (90 seconds) and one for writing (60 seconds). First, you should become familiar with all the different questions. Second, work on developing your writing and speaking skills, most students get their lowest scores in the production section. Join my Facebook group for more help 😃👍

The photo of a man, who is wearing a blue chemise, writing some notes in his notepad with a yellow pen. Also, we can see a silver laptop in front of him. Furthermore, I can guess that this photo was taken by a professional photographer to use it further in any advertisement, that guess because it has been taken from a pretty viewing angle.

From the depict we can obviously see that the man who sitting in the office try to keep note something, from other hand the laptop is also opened and it means that he look for something.
