Default Written explanation - To prove English proficiency

I want to apply for PR. To prove that one can communicate proficiently in English, you have to provide a written explanation alongwith the application.

Can any one who did so, share what to write? If some one can share his/her explanation, which can be used ONLY as a reference for structuring my explanation, it will be highly appreciated.

Well, I did this and succeeded. The point is, you should frame up the main body of your story in a way to prove you have got the proficiency in 4 main sections "Listening, reading, writing and speaking"
I used the following ideas:

1- Living in an English language country (or you can talk about where the English is used as the second language such as tourist countries)
2- Studying in a foreign country where I had to pass the courses in English.
3- My working experiences as an English teacher in my own country. ( you can talk about teaching eanglish as a private english teacher or...)
4- Talking about traveling outside your country as a tourist and experiences of communication in English.
5- You can talk about having pen friends for years, which means a lot of writings and writings.
6- Talking about your work and English skills needed as part your duties.

and a lot of more stories that can prove You can survive in an English language country easily, not necessarily showing you are master but at least you can go on independently.

Hope this helps
Raska

Sorry Professor PMM!
If I were you, I would give some good ideas instead of ridiculing others. Misspelling always happens.

Hey guys, can't you take a joke? I don't find PMM's comments offensive.

LOL - if you ever find such a country let me know and I may decide to immigrate there instead.

Cant spell to save me life and get the praverbial taken out of me all the time, some idiot keeps moving the keys around on my keybaord all the time causing me to make typos - but what the hell - life is a bitch and you have to get a laugh where you can these days.
