Second, as per my understanding, I believe this sentence structure is wrong. I am sorry, but I didn't get you exactly. If you can explain me about the sentence and flaws which you mentioned, I would really appreciate.

Hi,

I have a question about the link of integrated speaking. I didn't find detail questions there, such as reading paragraphs with listening. However, some of them have listening attached. So, I didn't understand, How can I submit my speaking recordings only on the basis of half information. OR Do I need to find my own questions or submit it?

Thanks,

Ana.
