SHL, thank you.
I wrote I didn't have the purpose of the English test, but
reading this thread, I've decided t take the test, OOPT(Oxford
Online Placement Test). I guess my level is B2 now, but I've
felt my improving since I had lessons with Nikola. I might be
able to get C1 in the near future, soon.

When I was still allowed to use Italki with my credit card I
took the OOPT. It was fun to do. It lasts about half an hour. No
stress like the real tests (I took the Spanish DELE an it lasted
a whole day...never ever again). I wonder if the OOPT is an
indicator concerning other more official English tests.

I wonder where I would place on that Oxford English Language
Test. Jerry might be an A2, Neal a B1 but I might get a B2
(LOL). Just kidding guys, but it would be fun to take it and see
where we scored. It all depends on what the testers are looking
for (I assume there’s no oral portion).
I‘d just go off what sounds right to me, nothing to do with
English Grammar rules (because I don’t know any). You know,
„This sounds like crap, this is ok.“ That kind of thing.
It’d be fun to take that Oxford test for fun.
I watch a lot of German language YouTube videos and you should
see the German language comments. The people who write those
aren’t writing the best German I‘ll tell you that.

Good teachers like she are hard to find (another screwy English
sentence, “good teachers like her are hard to find, or good
teachers like she are hard to find......she can tell you which
is right! Gosh, they both sound right to me).
[/quote]
I believe that "teachers like her" is correct because the word
"teachers" is the subject in that sentence, "like" is a
preposition, therefore there needs to be the object pronoun
"her" rather than "she". "She" would require an additional verb.
