14A.2
I don't really know. I can't speak any other languages, apart from Portuguese of course. I've only ever tried to learn English. I suppose it hasn't been too hard, although modal verbs and prepositions are really difficult! And there are so many phrasal verbs!
I've always loved English. I started learning as a child, singing Beatles' songs and reading poems at school. I've been to lots of language schools. I don't know how many courses I've done. I've already taken TOEIC. I got a 520 and I was really pleased. I've just started the CPE course but I know it'll take me at least two years. I'd love to go to England - I haven't been there yet! It's been my dream since I was a little girl One day .!
I love watching sub-titled movies and I read a lot too. I've started reading the news in English on the Internet. I'm always trying to use my English - especially with the tourists here in Rio. I think that's the secret of learning - using every opportunity to practise.

(given 3-2-1 ante-penultimate syllable treatment in Key similar to Biology)
This pattern is a useful generalisation as a guess where to place the stress in longer words when students have no idea. It doesn't work when words end in e.g. -tion or -ic and there are lots of exceptions but it's true of the majority of longer words in English and is often a pattern worth giving to post-elementary students.

2. I (really) enjoyed Biology. I couldn't understand Maths.
