I have a degree in English test today, the feeling is not very good, if not through, I will not be able to get a university diploma, really worried.

So many university English four six levels of tests I not once through, I hate reciting words, always remember, every time I see a reading comprehension is like watching mumbo-jumbo.
Be able to endure loneliness, will be very close to success, wealth and career will be away from us, but thought eternal.

And here I'm of French descent and I did not understand much of that.

Someone is a devious neanderthal? Don't explain, it is just My lack of French language skills.

China is now six forty-four in the morning, I would also like to go to the east campus at eight o'clock on the four English classes!

Today to 8 hours of English classes, tired.

And I feel the translation software will also have many grammatical errors in order.

Me same like you not beeing a native english speaker totally understand what you mean.
Translation software is usable only for some missing words.
Exercise is the best in my opinion.

That comes across as spam. It's all about earning money. Not much to do with the examination of English comprehension. I don't mean this is a bad thing, but stick around here in the cafe and you'll learn a lot in a short period of time from just talking to us.

You said is reasonable, but the problem is, if not with the translation software, I even can not very well understand your reply.

The number of words I have only one thousand....

Then you need to increase the number of words in your vocabulary, you could use an English to Chinese dictionary or a Chinese to English dictionary, that would help.

& can be confusing for those learning it. For example take the word read, it can also be read [pronounced red] & there are countless others some of which, even confuse me!
