When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

we couldn't even think of posting online in my day since it didn't exist! But copying from your pal was considered to be cheating...

: Nowadays, it may be considered even "laudable" to take the "care" to post your questions online. The other day I listened how making "chuletas" (cribs) "assist" the ability of the "student" to synthesize information! (Better than using synthetic drugs!)

Thanks:-). LOL. As a teacher I could spot "fake" homework right away. And exams are the real giveaway!

excellent / high
The important thing to note here is that "good" and "excellent" do not mean the same thing.
Consequently, it's not a question of "which is better English?" - but rather "which is more truthful?"
Discussion
If the rules for your exam allow you to ask here, then welcome! I am from the generation that was not allowed to ask questions or use dictionaries for school exams, but I have taken several exams later on where realistic use of the Internet and other resources was definitely part of the exercise.
Best of luck with your test!
It's for admission to a Chinese company that unfortunately thinks these are correct options.
I can't fail again, so I decided to resort to the forum.
I'm new here, but as far as I know this should be a space for help, no?
Yes, I spotted that too. Unbelievable! Can't even do simple homework. It looks like the whole world thinks they are English natives!
I note that the Asker's profile says she translates:
English to Portuguese
Spanish to Portuguese
French to Portuguese
Spanish to English
French to English!
