Well, I would like to talk a bit about it when using smartphones, because we’re restricted. It happened last month when I go for a mock exam in our learning center. Our learning center is near my house, so near the subway, so it’s a really convenient location. I must admit that the mock exam was really realistic and really close to the real ideal stress, because they do our tests in computers. And so speaking, I was followed by a foreign person. I mean, American, maybe. But in our previous exam, when our regular teacher was sick and another teacher conducted the exam, All of us use TTPT and AI to do all tasks. And our score was unrealistic and by far higher than our real band. What I would like to see for the young learners is that one should be honest about their real score, about the accomplishments and you should know what you are capable of doing without cheating. And I think it’s really important because if you go for any real test, you might feel disappointed. Because I have get 6.5 in my dyshexam, but in previous I have took 8. You know, it has really big differences.

Well, I would like to talk a bit about when using smartphones, because we're restricted. It happened last month when I went for a mock exam in our learning center. Our learning center is near my house, close to the subway, so it's a really convenient location. I must admit that the mock exam was really realistic and very close to the real ideal stress, because they conduct our tests on computers. Speaking of which, I was followed by a foreign person, maybe American. In our previous exam, when our regular teacher was sick and another teacher conducted the exam, all of us used TTPT and AI to complete all tasks. Our scores were unrealistic and far higher than our real band. What I would like to see for young learners is that one should be honest about their real scores and accomplishments, and you should know what you are capable of doing without cheating. I think it's really important because if you go for any real test, you might feel disappointed. I got a 6.5 in my dyshexam, but previously I had scored an 8. You know, there is a really big difference.
