However you have to hand in both the question sheet and answer sheet after the test so you can not take them home.:wink: kurichan-san ありがとうございます。両方ともアドバイスをするときに使いますが、「ことだ」の方が、強いと思います。 We use -ta hou ga ii for general advice based on one's opinion, observation, circumstances etc. -suru koto da, on the other hand, sounds really confident. It sounds like the person who says has a lot of experience or knowledge about the matter.:wink: Jordan-san

I would find this extremely useful in the Listening section as well as in the reading comprehension.
