You would have to tell us why you were refused and on what basis you are appealing.

You should ask your lawyer this question. You should expect a better answer from him/her than anonymous people on the internet.

But to your question: Did you ever take a written exam? Were you given a chance to repeat the written exam if you failed?

i meant did you pass or fail your citizenship test?

I failed my citizenship test orally, I did it only once when I met the judge ,I never did it writing .

I never did my written exam, I did only once orally when I met the judge, I know I should do it twice before I see the judge is that correct?

appeal may not be successful. Because when you agreed to do the oral exam, virtually you agreed to waive your chance to take written exam. you should have told the judge during the hearing that you want to come back for a second time and be scheduled for a written exam.

the judge didn't tell me that I failed my oral exam, she requested for CBSA and more documents, after 4 month I received this letter.

I regret to inform you that your application for Canadian citizenship is not approved ,you appeared before me for a hearing of your application , I found that you did not meet the requirements of paragraph 5(1) of the citizenship act.

paragraph 5(1) of the citizenship act provides that an applicant for citizenship must have an adequate knowledge of Canada and of the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship in order to qualify for Canadian citizenship.
