Hi,

Thanks for your response.I really apprecaite it.
Yes I took TOEFL with CBT 227.Although it is not good enough but you can say it average.
First of all about spellings.My spelling may be wrong as I use spell check with American English on some words I use english is british one.
Secondly apart frome spelling the conent of letter you think is not appropiate one!!
If you give me one example that would help me in rewriting.
I am new in city so there are very less chances that I will get some help localy thats why I ask for the help? But as you said it need extensive rewriting then definately I have to find someone to help me.I do not havemuch hope in this regard.
Anyway thanks

It is strange that you _____ say such a thing.
(1)would (2)should

The answer is (2).

Mine is (1). It dealt with the willingness of a person to say such a thing. I think 'should' is so strong that it forms one type of request or order. So I consider it not suitable. But obvious, I'm wrong. Erm...frustrated, I need you.

The questions I have are from TOEFL. I decided to put them under this subject instead of seperating them into different threads becuase I think they belong to subcategories of 'Mood.' I'd like to keep the thread as simple and clear as possible for further tracing in the future.

I look forward to your answers. Thank you in advance.
