Whether one should learn an American or British accent is a constant debate among English learners. Here's my take on it. To give me suggestions for future podcast episodes follow me on Twitter @tanatswaforever.

Do I Really Need an Accent Part 2

In this episode of #MustWatch TV Series/Movies, I'd like to recommend Without Remorse as it is an action-thriller which is pretty great when it comes to the action scenes it offers, and there is a lot of it that you can expect. Watch it and let me know what you think of it. Enjoy!

#MustWatch Without Remorse

First and foremost, carefully read the instructions for each T-F-NG question. Pay attention to any specific guidelines, such as whether the statements must be supported by evidence in the passage or if they should reflect the writer's opinion.

Next, proceed to read the passage thoroughly, keeping in mind the statements provided in the question. Pay close attention to the relevant sections that may contain information relating to the statements. Look for keywords or phrases that directly address or contradict the statements.

When evaluating each statement, consider whether there is clear evidence in the passage that supports its truthfulness. If you find explicit information that confirms the statement, mark it as "True." Conversely, if you encounter evidence that directly contradicts the statement, mark it as "False." Be cautious not to base your decision on assumptions or personal opinions. Stick to the information presented in the passage.

There may be instances where the information regarding a statement is not explicitly stated in the passage. In such cases, mark the statement as "Not Given." Remember, "Not Given" means there is insufficient information to confirm or deny the statement's truthfulness.

It's crucial to be aware of any qualifying words or phrases in the statements, such as "all," "only," "always," or "never." Pay close attention to these qualifiers, as they can significantly affect the accuracy of the statement.

Time management is key when answering T-F-NG questions. Allocate a specific amount of time for each question and avoid spending too much time on a single statement. If you're unsure about a statement, make an educated guess and move on. You can revisit it later if time allows.
