MODEL ANSWER:
Dear Ms. Blaire,
I am writing with regard to your competition for one year’s free leisure centre membership.
I would like to mention that I have used your leisure centre on a number of previous occasions, usually at the weekend, and have thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The leisure centre is clean, well-run, state-of-the-art and has a fantastic atmosphere. The cafeteria is also tremendous with lots of healthy food and drinks.
One thing that could improve the centre is having longer opening hours at the weekend. I think it would be great if it could be open all day and all night on Saturdays and Sundays.
In order to make the experience unforgettable I would love to have a swimming lesson with one of your professional instructors. I have never had a swimming lesson before!
I really hope that my competition entry is successful.
Yours sincerely,
Jan Novak.

Write an essay for your college magazine entitled ‘My earliest childhood memories’. Describe
your clearest memory and say why you remember it.
Write between 150 - 200 words

MODEL ANSWER:
My earliest childhood memories
Many people have memories from their childhood that they can only remember parts of. Maybe it is because we were so young at the time that the details are hard to recollect.
However, I have a memory from when I was about three or four years old that I will never forget and I can remember in a lot of detail.
My grandparents lived near the sea which was far away from where I lived, with my parents, in a big city. One summer we went as a family to stay with my grandparents for one whole week.
The thing that sticks in my mind about this holiday was that I saw a hovercraft for the very first time.
A hovercraft was something I had only seen in books before, so to see one in real life was truly amazing. I remember the deafening noise it made as the huge engine started and it lifted the hovercraft off the ground. Not only that but the spray from the water as it started moving out to sea flew back into my face and soaked me from head to toe.
From that day on I had a desire to travel by hovercraft.
Hello David,I dunno how to express how helpful your tutorials were to me,I got a high pass on language cert B1 today,many thanks to you.

Hi any tips for languagecert. Planning to take c1 level. I'm afraid I can't pass 😢
A year ago, I was watching your videos for my A1 tests. Now I would like to do the B2 tests, but I don't know if I'm ready. Im planning to take my test in march, I will try to do my best. Thank you and mary Christmas 🎄
Thanks for your message. There are sample tests available online to find out if your level is good enough to pass. Just search for English B2 level exam tests. Good luck, David

Thank you
@@darlingtonsantiago4013 There isn’t a series of fixed topics for the written exam. I recommend that you look at the languagecert.org website and read all of the practice questions.
Hy sir .. last day my LWR test
Thank you sir for your CZcams videos, they have been very helpful. At the closing , you wrote Yours Sincerely, Jan Novak. I was wondering , should there should be a signature before the Jan Novak ?
Yes, usually a signature is entered before the printed name but for the sake of an exam this is not necessary. David
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks for your sample answers! They are very useful!🌹
Thanks for your kind comments Momo. May I ask where you are from? David
@@The-English-Professor
Hi David, I'm glad you replied to me. I'm from China, and I'm working on the B2 now. 😭
@@momo-ed1mj I wish you lots of success Momo ! D
Thank you, David! Can I ask you some email questions? If I want to send an email to a tv program and express my thoughts on what is the best. Can I use “as far as I am concerned”? Does that sound like I'm unconfident? Should I just say, “ XX is more significant than others.” without saying any words like “ in my view” or, “I think”.
@@momo-ed1mj You can say - 'It is widely thought that x is good' , which is a passive form and distances you from the comment. This is known as distancing in English. If you say ' as far as I am concerned' it strongly expresses your personal opinion, which you might not want to do ! David
Hello sir could you make a video about the b1 written and spoke ?pleas.
Kindly make a video reading tips
Hello David, can u give more writing samples for B1?
Hello David. A very big thanks to you for your speaking videos i got 46 out of 50 in my speaking modules. Please help me in reading part 1 and part 2 fill up please suggest me some tips and tricks for both parts. Thanks
what did they ask u
Hy daved very thanks to AP lod this video but I would like to request you uplod some reading tips for me I will be very thankful to you
Hi David, I´m preparing (with your help) for B2 exam. I really cna see that writing part is the hardest. I don´t think I cach your channel before my exam, but I was struggeling to find out somewhere the overview for different types of writtings - mainly article, review, blog post, descriptive and agumentative composition. I´m more person who uses actively english and this exam I need only for getting visa, so I didn´t attend any clases where you would train the writting platforms :)
Hi Pavlina, part 1 of the written exam is a formal response for an intended public audience. So that means you need to write a formal piece covering some given points in the task. It could be an article for a local newspaper e.g. 'How our town could be improved' - to include suggested solutions to the problems of litter, parking and street lighting. It has a limit of 100 to 150 words. Part 2, which is 150 to 200 words, is a personal letter, a story or a descripitive composition. It could be an email/letter to a friend describing your last holiday but again needs to cover some given points which are described in the task. The emphasis here is on an informal piece of writing but in any case should be highly descriptive.
I suggest you look at the LanguageCert website and see what has been given as tasks previously.
I hope this helps, David
@@The-English-Professor Thank you very much David for your advice! you helped me a lot. Hope tomorrow will go everything well and who knows, we might meet online :)
@@pavlinatrojanova9833 Just be careful of your spelling and word order e.g. struggling, Hope tomorrow everything (will go) goes well. David
Hello Pavlina, have you attended to this exam?
Hello David, I will take the Achiever exam on Saturday. Can you share 2 samples for the B1 level, that include some tips?
Hi dear David Crofts Teacher , can you please , make a video, with one example - about how the student or candidate they can pass a C1. listening- reading- writing.

Hi Arianna, thanks for your message. Yes I will try to do a sample of the C1 writing if I have time. Could I just ask one question - where are you from? David

@@The-English-ProfessorPlease David . Give to us some lesson .
Hello David any suggestions for writing a report in ESOL C1?
Please advice
in an online exam the basic pattern changes i heard. for example in a paper written letter we usually leave a line and write new paragraph from new line after leaving one line where as in online exam i am confused if we leave a line(enter+enter) or just (hit enter) for new line and continue to a new paragraph please answer
Hello, David do you need to write any form of letter in BI exams ?

Thanks for your message Muhammad, I hope your exam went well ! David
how did it go
Hi David, how do you start with a formal letter?
Hello David please my question is, how many words do I have to write if they give a range between 100 -120 ?
A minimum of 100 and a maximum of 120. Ideally about 110 if possible.
Hello Mr. David, thank you for taking the time to us. Can you give information how many topics can be in writing exam?
Really there is no limit to the number of topics in the writing exam but they are always topics everybody is comfortable with.
Hello Mr .David,kindly help me with letter writing for B1 achiever videos

How can v check our word count ? Or is shown to us? In an ESOL b2 communicator exam
Hello David, I need some advice as for the reading and listening parts as well... In particular, as for the reading part 2, the choice of the correct sentence to fill in the gap is pretty much troublesome to me. As far as the listening exam is concerned, I need to know how to remember a long speech: it's not a question of understanding, it's a matter of memory!! Thank you in advance for your kind reply 😇
Hello Tiziana Strina, it is difficult to answer your questions quicky but I will try. First of all when you do the reading part 2 , you need to look at the sentence(s) before the gap and the sentence after and try to choose the sentence which is most logical to fill the gap with regard to context. If you are not sure still, try to say the text with the possible sentences and feel which one is most natural.
With regard to the listening exam you need to look at the questions first and try to predict what type of answer they could have. Then listen to the recording and focus on hearing something similar to your prediction. E.g. the question could be 'What type of transport does the man decide to use in the end'? So then you predict possible types of transport for the situation e.g. car, bus, train or bicycle. Then listen to the recording and try to find something similar mentioned. But be careful there are often 'red herrings' to distract you from the correct answer ! He might say that he had decided to go by bus but then changed his mind to going by train because it would be faster ! So train is the answer not bus. I hope this helps ! David
@@The-English-Professor Thanks, David. From practice materials, there can be 6 questions and 3 answers for each of them. Do I need to read and memorize these questions and answers and then listen to a recording? Do I have controls on recording (start listening, listen again)? And the recording can be played only twice, right?
Regarding the reading part two you need to think about which sentence logically fits in each gap. What is before the gap ? Is it logically followed by your selected sentence? Does it refer to similar information? Or a similar time? In the listening exam you will see the questions before you hear the speaking. This can help you 'predict' what type of answer it might be. The questions are written in the same order as the information in the listening which gives the answers. You do not need to remember the listening at all. Good luck, David
Hey David!
Please help me with LanguageCert ESOL B2 story writing. I am always stucked with it.
I want to see a written email example so it minimize the risk of being wrong in exam plz help
Hello David I'm Marco from Italy thank you for these helpful videos! I have a doubt and hope you could answer me. My question is : is it possible use a blank paper to take some notes during the listening/reading/writing exam? I have used it in the spoken exam and I don' t understand if it' s allowed to use it in the written exam too. Thank you in advance for your kind reply
Yes you should be able to. David
Hello David, thanks very much for your well-done videos. My question is: what can I do if I don't know the meaning of any words during written exam?
Hello Roberta, thanks for your question. If you don't understand a word in the reading and written part of the exam all you can do is make an educated guess based on the position of the word and context in which it is used. You should be able to identify if it is a verb, noun etc. which can help. I hope this helps at least a little bit. Good luck, David
@@The-English-Professor Thanks very much for your reply.
Thanks! How exactly do you need to count the words written? I am still determining what this exam looks like (LanguageCert International ESOL SELT B1). Word can be counted automatically if it's typing text on the computer. And if it's handwritten, do you need to repetitively count how many you wrote to match desired range?
Yes you are correct in both ways. The computer can count how many words are written but you should always double check it. If you you write by pen and paper, then yes it is best to repeatedly check how many words you have written. At the end of each written line you can write the number of words in pencil so you can keep a 'running total' ! David
Hi David,I need your help to improve my writing I did an exam and I got 21 out of 50 in my writing but I got 46 in speaking,37 in reading,43 in listening but I didn’t know about the pattern or format of writing.I got an email that i fail but after few hours I got an email again I have successfully passed my test, I don’t know what is that mean but I want to book my b1 test again and I want to pass my writing module this time.please give some advice for writing b1
After 15 to 20 days i want to conduct language cert b2 exam date can yew give me a tips to pass all four Reading writing speaking listening.
I'm Lill bitt afraid*
Hello David, Could you help me with writing parts, to the Languagecert exam B1 please?
David, I can't find the examples that you mentioned, could you please share the link with me?
I also have a question that I would like to ask you, what types of grammar structures would you recommend to use in our text?
Thank you for sharing your precious contents
Hi, if you look at the comments below the video, and it is easier if you use a PC or laptop, you will see the first comment I wrote. It might be contracted so you need to click on where it sasy 'more' below the fist comment. If that doesn't work , I can paste it into a message for you on this comments forum. Please let me know. David
Above these messages is a 'Read more' button. Click on it and it will show you the full answer. With regard to grammar structures, it really depends on the task, but I would try to write at least one second conditional sentence and if possible and appropriate to the task, one third conditional or even mixed conditional sentence. The more ability you can show in writing in different tenses with a wide range of vocabulary, the higher your score will be. Good luck ! David
@@The-English-Professor Thank you, I was looking on the description box instead of looking at the comment section.
I have changed the video setup. Look at the video description to see the written model answer. Good luck, David
Hello David. Thank you very much for such a helpful video.
I have a question regarding the part 1. See the question below:
Writing Part 1
Write an email to enter the competition advertised in the notice below. Mention:
• when you use the centre
• why you want the membership
• how to improve our facilities.
Write between 100 - 150 words.
As you can see that, the second point "why you want the membership" is required in the answer.
But In your answer, I observe that only the first and 3rd points are answered.
Can it be written better?
Or is it so that the answer is already covering up that point?
Thank you very much for you kind help.
Hi Khuram, I understand your point here. I think my comment about wanting to have proper swimming lessons indicates why I would like to be a member. The problem of writing in any language is how it can be interpreted by different people. After all, that is why lots of people discuss books. David
Hello sir i have one question that how to pass writing task clear actually 2 type question.i don't have to know pls help me
Hi mr david how are you?can you pls help me for the writing exam in b1 selt exam..thank you
Hello david,how many should marks in reading and listening
Sir, although you repeatedly say, you must devide your text but on the contrary, you have never devided your task 1. Where are the paragraphs ? Please explain ?
And as to task 2, what kind of paragraphs did you make ? Especially the sentence which begins "the thing" what did you do it for?
And about your conclusion ? Where is the inference ?
Hello, David!
I have a question, could you help me please?
Are articles considered as separate words? Should I count them in the writing part? Thank you in advance!
Oh yes, articles are most definitely counted as separate words. Therefore you should count them in the written part of the exam. Good luck, David
@@The-English-Professor thank you so much!
Sir I am feel difficult reading practice paper 2...can u explain how too do
Please if i may ask when you write more than the exact figure that has been given to write it's a fail please?
Hi Afawuah Evans, no it is not an absolute fail but it is wrong in that you have not completed the task within the number of words allowed. So it might not fail, depending on how many words over it is, but it might reduce your grade. Obviously if it is 100 words over it will fail but if it is ten words over it is a downgrade because you haven't completed the task in the correct number of words. Just make sure you are within the correct number of words ! David
Is that word count availabe on the screen??
Hi David, kindly confirm if there is any need writing the recipients and senders email addresses as well as the subject when writing the email
Dear Muvimwa Plaxedis, in fact it is not necessary to write the email address of either party. Normally the subject of the email is written below the email address in the top bar of most email layouts, so again I think it is unnecessary. However, you might start your first sentence of your email as: Dear Miss Smith, I am writing with regard to an article I saw recently on our town's website about the problem of litter. So in this way you have mentioned the subject of the email. I hope this answers your questions. Good luck, David
Dear sir,
The day after tomorrow is my exam please guide me how to letter for Task 2 ? Thank you. ❤️
You mean "how to WRITE a letter" in the second task ! My video about writing explains how to write a letter. Please check all of my videos. Good luck, David
Hello David. Is the written exam typed on a computer or is it actually written with a pen?
It is possible to do both types of exam. If you take an exam at a test center, then you will usually write with a pen on paper. If you take an exam online, you will type on a keyboard. David
@@The-English-Professor Thanks very much.
Hi David do you have any more writing examples for LangaugeCert B1 ?
Thank you
Hi, what do you mean by writing examples? Do you mean sample "tasks" in the exam because these can be found on languagecert.org under preparation material ? Or do you mean an example answer to the tasks written by me ? David
@@The-English-Professor an example answer thank you
Sir can you please provide some past papers plz
And can you please give some topics for part 4
Dear Anum Majeed, I advise you to go the website languagecert.org , where you will find examples of questions for all levels and all parts of the exam. The topics in part 4 do not usually repeat but you will get a good idea of the topics if you go to the languagecert.org website. I wish you lots of luck ! David
Hello David, I hope you will see this comment and probably reply.
Can you mention a few things which make the examiner negatively mark the exam ? I am particularly asking this question in the context of assessment criteria. For example, in my knowledge not addressing all the content points in the task, too much exceeding word count, spelling/grammatical mistakes are some of the factors which may push the results below high pass.
What should students do and avoid specifically aiming at high pass ?
Hi Saad Zahoor, apart from the things you have mentioned the lack of varied vocabulary is a big negative. If a student repeatedly uses just 'good' and 'bad' as adjectives that would be a problem. Using incorrect tenses is also a negative factor. All in all, it's the combination of many things that result in a fail, pass or high pass. I hope this helps. David
@@The-English-Professor hmm that's totally not what I expected. Being a non-native English speaker I have always stressed upon using a simple and mediocre level vocabulary instead of cramming difficult words. I have always taught a principal staunchly that good English is having something to say and saying it simply.
Well you indeed gave me quite a fresh perspective. Thank you so much David for taking your time to reply swiftly. Have a great day. You helped a lot.
Can I look forward to business proposition where I can send you some written samples and you can assess them as a native speaker ?
I am working as private tutor for all sorts of Selt exams like LanguageCert, IELTS, Duolingo and Ellt etc. But of course even I am yet unable to fully understand the assessment criteria from the perspective of native speakers.
Hello Sir hope you are fine with good health.
Sir I am going to take attempt on 13th June of LRW.
Sir please guide me how to write review ? It will be in single block passage or how?
Ideally a review should be in 3 to 4 paragraphs of writing.
Hello David,
Please let me know if there will be a word count below the essay and letter writing pages.
I will be looking forward to your reply as soon as possible.
If you are taking the exam using the LanguageCert software then there should be a word count as far as I am aware but check with LanguageCert anyway! Good luck! David
Thank you, David. I wrote my test 2 days ago. One part of it. Writing aspect to be precise. It was computer-based and there was a word count on it. I am taking the speaking part next week. I will update you of my result when it comes out.
Hello David,I had given UKVI SELT exam ,but in the last part I had typed the essay but time was up and I dint press the answer button.Will the system might have taken the answer or rejected it
I can't tell you if it was accepted or rejected. You need to contact LanguageCert as soon as possible and explain what happened. Good luck, David
in an online attempt of the exam we are told to write and email do we need to write
To:
From:
Date:
Subject:
Dear Sir,
or we just start from
Dear Sir,
please answer
Usually it explains what you should write e.g. you do not need to write to, from, date and subject, so you start with Dear Sir,. Follow the instructions given on the task accurately and you will not have any problems. Good luck, David
@@The-English-Professor in my attempt it was a formal email sorry i forgot to add this do we still starr from Dear sir ?
Hello David , If we write more than 200 words in task 1 and 2 will it impact on marks? Need yours assistance.
Yes if you write too many words in either of the tasks, it will have an impact on your marks. The same applies for too few words. It depends on how many words you are over as to how many marks you would lose.
Where can i find the writing part as you said ,you wrote them the examples
It should be in the comments section of the video. You need to expand the first few comments and you should be able to see it. David
I have another question if you are kind to answer. In part 3 of listening, If my response was right but I spelled wrong does it count?
Hi Alee Lavii, yes you would score a mark in the written part and/or the listening but perhaps instead of one mark, you would get half a mark ! Everything depends on the particular question and how badly the word is spelt. David
@@The-English-Professor thank you so much.
Hi David, can you please provide samples of how to write a review, a report, formal and informal letters and a story at C2 level?
Hi Emily, that is quite a big request because really I would have to write originals for all the things you requested. I cannot just copy and paste somebody else's work because that would infringe copyright laws. Please give me a chance to think about it but you should be able to find examples online anyway. Try researching model answers for C2 English writing tasks. It might help. David
Hi david, in your opinion can i just only take the speaking part as certificate to apply on abroad jobs or in universities?
Thanks for your question. Regarding jobs theoretically an employer doesn't need any type of qualification. It is the private sector and they can employ whoever they want. Universities are different, they normally need evidence of your ability in both written and spoken English. Always check with the employer or university first to find out what they require. Good luck, David
@@The-English-Professor thank you so much for your answer! Your videos help me a lot i gained confidence in English thanks to you David :)
Have a good day 😊

Hi sir help give me selt exam pattern
Hello David,
I did my exam 3 days ago. On the writing section, I used roughly 170 words instead of 100-120 as requested. Do you think that this will be an issue? If so, would you be able to estimate the impact of it on my mark? Thank you
Thanks for your question. The thing is you had a task to complete within a number of words. If it took you more words to complete the task, then it indicates that there is an error in your ability to convey an idea in a certain number of words. This will have an impact on your score but I cannot exactly say by how much. Keep your fingers crossed and hope that the quality of your writing is such that the examiner will still pass you. David
Hey! Did you pass?)
@@quanperfect Yes I did pass it. The lowest score was on the writing section as I was afraid of
@@shakeyourduty glad to hear that, congrats! I passed everything too, somehow high pass on speaking & writing
Please are we to include addresses in the letter writing
No this is not usually necessary but check this instructions carefully when taking the exam in case there are any changes.
Hello David, Please I notice the email was not written in paragraphs, any reasons for that?
Hi Roseline, thanks for your message. I am surprised by what you say because the email I gave as an example is definitely written in paragraphs. Could it be that you are not able to see the paragraphs because of the format you are using to read it ? David
Hlo sir , plz share a video of more writing part 1 of languagecert b2 exam. actually my exam is on 22 may Sunday morning 4:00 am .plz help me sir and reply me as soon as possible. thanks sir
Thanks for your comment and request. Unfortunately I cannot make videos so often because I have to work, I am an English teacher in a school. I advise you to look at the LanguageCert website to see more examples of the written exam questions. languagecert.org Best of luck, David
@@The-English-Professor thanks sir
please help me anybody for writing option email formula
Hello David, if it is said to write the email address, how can it be put in the letter?
An email address can be placed one line below the physical address. I hope this helps. David
I thank you for your prompt reply.
Respected Sir, please make an elaborated video about writing task 2 letter. I am a teacher myself, and my students are not taking 38+ marks on regular basis. I will be highly obliged.
In email writing, do you have to write a heading
No not usually. David
Hello! MR.David i just want to clear one thing please tell me what i need passing marks for taking admission in UK universities or High pass???
Usually universities in the UK just require a pass at a specified level in English e.g. a pass at B2 level ( a high pass is not usually necessary). But, as always, you should send an email to the university you are interested in and ask them. David
@@The-English-Professor thanks MR.David
Hello David, I can't see the written examples
Open up the comments about the video. The first comment is the written examples. David
Sir i have received an email. my lrw result is delayed due to potential malpractice. So what should i do. Are i wait for result or take another lrw test.and how long it takes
This is a difficult situation. I can't say how long the investigation will take. Do you think there was possibly any malpractice during your exam? If the answer is definitely no, then you should await the results.
Hi thank you for the video but I can't see the examples you have written
Look at the comments below the video. Open the comments if necessary and you will find the completed written answer. David
I have changed the video setup. Look at the video description to see the written model answer. Good luck, David
Thanks for your
@@The-English-Professor pls sir video for writing and reading
I think you need to scroll down and look at the comments section. The examples are there. David
During the exam do we have a words counter or must we count them?
You should check with the organiser of your exam but if you are writing on a computer there should be a word counter. I cannot give a specific answer unfortunately.
@@The-English-Professor I discovered that for the exams using "examshield" platform there is a word counter inside the platform.
Will the exam material will come from past papers ?
Thanks for your question Sana. The questions are different for each exam but they are usually very similar to previous questions from past papers. David
Hi! Can we write our own name at the end of the letter?
Yes most definitely write your own name.
@@The-English-Professor Thank you David for quick response,today i have my Exam so,please wish me best of luck and pray for me. Your videos are really informative and helpfull.
@@alawaqas5540 I wish you every success! Go for it
Hi David ,do you need to put your address on the writing
No it is not necessary.
Hi, David my writing need to get 25 points but I got one is 23 another is 21 in two times exam 😢. And don’t know the problems and how to improve. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you !
I can only suggest that you use the internet to search for writing examples at the level of exam you are attempting e.g. B1'or B2. Read the examples and try to compare to what you write. This will help you see your mistakes. David
@@The-English-Professor Hi David thank you for your message. I took C2 level of language cert. I saw you wrote the sample. However I had stories requirement in my exam. Is it any criteria requirement need to reach? For the stories ,is it any form phrase in exam? Thank you 🙏
@@chengchengqian8306 It all depends on the topic of the essay. At C2 level you should be able to make the correct decision regarding what type of English is required i.e. formal or informal etc.
@@The-English-Professor thank you David.
Sir please please reply, Can we write in the Emil like, I hope you will be fine and doing well. Like this stuff???
Yes you can if it is an "informal" task requirement e.g. an email to a friend. By the way, you have mixed the tenses in your example! It is better to write " I hope you are fine and doing well". David
@@The-English-Professor Thank you sir. And one more question , Sir can we paraphrase Eassy? I mean paraphrasing is necessary in Eassy?
@@gainknowledge512 yes you can paraphrase.
@@The-English-Professor Thanks so much . May God bless you and live a long life and God give prosperity to your family in every step of life.
Love from Pakistani learner. ❤️
@@gainknowledge512 Thank you for your kind wishes. I hope you are successful in your English exams too. Please tell your friends and family about my videos and ask them to watch and subscribe too. Thanks, David
Hi David, I have my B1 test next week, could you please confirm if my writing task just include email and letter writing or there would a chance of getting any other task like essay, story writing, etc.?
Hello Sunil, I do not set the actual questions for the exam but it is usually an email and a letter. I have seen a task about a film or book review but that was quite a long time ago. I hope this helps. David
And one more thing Sunil, if you write in the B1 exam like you wrote this message to me, you will have no problems in passing the exam ! David
@@The-English-Professor Thank you, I was going through practice papers as well and all I could see is just an email and letter writing. And in official website it just said; response to a letter, poster, diary, timetable, leaflet, etc., so I do believe it would be just an email and letter writing.
Hi sunil pls how was the exam. Am as well preparing for mine in 2weeks, could you pls brief me on the expected questions. Thanks
Hi did you pass you exam?
Sir, I am from Bangladesh. Kindly could you help me about how can I write a review to English school magazine. How can I start my heading? It's very impotent for me because tomorrow (17.03.23) is my ESOL B2 communicator writing exam. I am very worried. Your reply is very important for me. If you give me any suggestion it would be my pleasure.
Yes I understand your question. A review needs to be of something like a book, a film, a restaurant etc. So your heading can be 'A review of my favourite restaurant'.Then you start the actual review with your own ideas. Maybe - Good Food Restaurant is located in the centre of my city within a stone's throw from the central bus station. ......etc
@@The-English-Professor Thank you very much.
Sir. I can't see your writing task 2 and 2. Kindly sent me in reply. I need it. I have a test after 5 days. I want to see written task pattern pattern.
Look at the comments below the video. The first or second comment contains the text you need. David
Have you found the writing task yet? David
@@The-English-Professor unfortunately not. May be some issue with setting. Paste them again if possible for you.
I have changed the video setup. Look at the video description to see the written model answer. Good luck, David
@@malikawan2859 Hello Malik Awan, as you say it does have some gramatical mistakes including incorrect tenses and use of articles. It also has some strange phrases like 'superb mandatory', 'pen down', 'artificial serves' ...? I really do not know what you mean by these phrases. My advice is to think about writing in a less 'complicated' style but with the use of lots of adjectives and adverbs. I would expect to see things like; 'In my opinion a faster internet connect will improve the quality of life for everybody because it will help students study more effectively and it will enable businesses to increase profits'......etc.'
If you corrected the grammar and use of vocabulary I think it would pass but certainly not at a high pass mark for B2.
Regards, David
Hey David , with the help from your videos I got 46 marks in speaking component . But I lose writing part with 30 marks .. I needed 33 in this part . I have to retake the exams because of these 3 marks .. During my writing exams I was asked to write a letter to a radio station about a recent conversation on inventions .. I started with respected sir .. I want to know that was it right salutation to start ? Because it is obvious that radio station's building is not going to read the letter . There must be a person to read the letter .. kindly tell me About right salutation while writing to an organisation .. waiting for your reply ... Thank you ...🌸
Normally we would write "Dear sir/madam", . It is also possible to use "To whom it may concern",.....
Did you try the test again? How was your score if you did the test?
