7 su 10.
quella che mi preoccupa di piu' e'
i have lived in rome for 10 years...
veramente ci vivo ancora?
scusa, ma se ci vivessi ancora direi:
i have been living in rome for 10 years...
o non c'è differenza tra le due forme?

some explanation:I lived vs. I have lived (simple past vs. present 
perfect) 
http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic7976.html
For represents duration, but it need not be duration up to the present 
time; it can occur solely in the past:
I lived in Los Angeles for three years [before I moved to Yokohama].
I have lived in Yokohama for fifteen years.


 The certificate is on my office wall :P
And it's for free! :-D

 And it's for free! :-D
Free is good , no? :)


 it can occur solely in the past:
But it can extend to the present time.


 Free is good , no? :)
Yep! :-)

 o non c'è differenza tra le due forme?
Su un sito di grammatica trovo questa spiegazione
I would like to know the difference between:
    * I lived in London for ten years.
    * I have lived in London for ten years.
    * I have been living in London for ten years.
GRAMMAR'S RESPONSE
"I lived" means that the time of your living there is definitely in the 
past; you no longer live there. "I have lived" means that you might 
still live there (although you might have left there recently to live 
somewhere else), and "I have been living" means—quite probably, 
anyway—that you continue to live there in the present.

 So the certificate should give you a score of 90 out of 100!
yes......
Can you see the ones who did the test and their scores?

Boh, non so dove hai preso spunto, ma non e' che nelle prime domande tu 
chieda il significato di termini cosi' importanti nel conoscere la lingua.

 My total score: 60%.
Ad ogni modo,  don't worry!, è poco più di un gioco, non ha pretese di 
validità "scientifica" come verifica del livello d'inglese.
Come ha notato EiP, alcuni termini non sono certo fondamentali.
Anyway, prova il test n.2: è meno "carogna"! :-D

 anyway—that you continue to live there in the present.
eh, infatti
