    Very nice video overall but avoid expressions such as "whizzed by," since they are highly informal and not appropriate to test one´s proficiency at English as a listening test. That is a very specific verb seldom used, hence no B2 and maybe even C1 speakers will be aware of it.

      Thank you for your feedback and for watching our video! We appreciate your input. In English language proficiency tests, it's important for students to be exposed to a wide range of vocabulary and expressions, including those that may be less common. As part of developing reading and listening skills, students must learn to infer meaning and intention from context, which includes encountering unfamiliar words or expressions. However, we'll certainly take your suggestion into consideration. Thanks again!
