First of all I want to introduce myself:
I am Frauke, 27 years old, from Elsdorf (near cologne).
The point is, my boyfriend was send on a course for studying english - he will need it for work.
In fact, I'm not so good in english language myself, but my boyfriend really has to grapple with learning languages, so I'd like to help him a little if possible.
For two weeks he is on this course now with some other students. They didn't wrote any graded examination yet, but some letters/tests which were collected and corrected by their teacher. Each time they had to wrote a letter, she then told their students, wether they would have passed or failed, if it was a graded examination.
As she told him, he would't have passed the examination if it was graded, he resigned a little bit.
So I wondred how to help him, and I think he should ask his teacher for a lead what he could learn at weekend - for the next week!
Do you think this was a good idea? Would YOU honor his will if you were his teacher an give him some suggestions?
To allay his fears (asking his teacher) I thought about 'the right words' to aks her, so he could learn them and get more self-confidence to handle this situation.
Now I'm searching for someone who could have a look at it:

Mrs./Miss "" -
I need an advice.
Could you please give me a lead, what we will learn next week?
First of all I would like to know, which subject will be given in our next test?
I would like to study (with my girlfriend) at weekend, because I don't want to fail my examination.

Thank you
I am very grateful.

Thanks a million for your help,
Frauke
