One way in which parents can help their children to achieve higher results in examinations is for the parents to use the English language correctly. When parents cannot be bothered to speak or write correctly, even on a public forum, it is not surprising that their children also cannot spell or punctuate properly.

I know a Russian lady whose spoken and written English are excelllent, rather better than that of many native English speakers. It is not surprising that her son also speaks and writes English fluently and he has recently been accepted as a student at Doha English Speaking School.
