邊個係天材,邊個係白 痴。大懵定蠢材?無咁易會知 阿幽 會知。
I made spelling error but do you know the context of my post.Dude...
天才? Not 天材
材 In Chinese is a material...like woods (木材) or coffin (棺材)
Going back to IELTS, most student did better in writing and reading parts (except me, I once use my hk passport to take an IELTS test just for fun, in the end I got all 9 except writing,)
Problem is, you can study the writing part and the reading part, but you can't learn how to speak and how to listen by studying, for that you need practices
Holy crap...just for fun and then you got three 9? Really nice job. For speaking part, 9 must mean native speaker level, I guess. In mainland China, 6.5 speaking is already a very high score. WTF, I prepared for totally 3 months and then only got 7 overall. English speaking environment is also very important, you must live in that environment for a long time.

Singaporeans and English proficiency?
They're intelligent people but they butcher the English language.
All those 'lahs', 'want to come to my house, can?'
That was called singlish, Chinese do them too, called chinglish
But can you really define proficiency in Singlish as proficiency in English?
I mean one of the tenets of the English langage is it's grammar (as with any other language). If you butcher the grammar, then in what way are you proficient at the language?

Have you ever heard japanese speaking English at all???![]()
I think they have discounted the ' accent' factors in spoken english.
We are not any much better
