@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 POLISH 😀
Thanks Professor super lesson frankly your vidéo IS super.
Welcome to Morocco if possible
I'm taking the exam this Saturday, and I'm pretty confident about the speaking part. I'll somehow manage to pass the listening and the use of English part, but the writing part? Oh boy, I'm so bad at writing essays, I'm not sure if I can pass that one. Those notes seem so confusing to me, and on top of that, I don't really know much about these topics, they seem too deep and I've never thought about them in my life xD But this video kind of helped me understand the basics, so thanks! Hopefully I'll pass and the money won't go to waste xD
Oh god same. At this point i feel that my mark will depend on how much i know about whatever topic i get bc I've got the language but not the creativity
@@laralepo1071 Try the official practice tests, they're pretty helpful. I finished both essays in fewer than 30 minutes, but I think it really sucked xD
@@supersonic_rocket_ship wowo thats a lot of spare time. Make sure to take some time to rough out a plan before starting. And thx for the suggestion I'll check them out :D
I have the exam on this saturday, too 🤣
@@laralepo1071 So how did you do? Are the results available for you yet? I passed and got an A 😁
Great video!!
Nice!! Could you provide a lecture for eassy writing IELTS. Thanks!!

Do we need to write our name and surname in a formal e-mail computer version?
nice video..
Having C1 exam tomorrow and I am going to party in just one hour. I have been spending the last 2 hours watching videos for tomorrow, I hope I will make it even though I have been going out tonight, haha. - I do not recommend doing the same as I. Gl brothers and sisters :)
Hi, excepting these 2 hours you have been spending to watch videos since when do you prepare for C1 exam ? I’m just curious because next week I will be sitting on B2 exam. In any cases good luck for your exam.
Hello welcome best speaking english thak you.
Hello good morning you video english good satifation suprt best thak you
Hi, I have a question. Should I include, in the first paragraph of the essay, my opinion on the topic of the essay? Thanks
Alessandra Occa no you should not. That has to be included in the conclusion
Oh, so I'm not the only one being here just before the exam, superb! 😂😂
I definitely subscribed
Thank you so much! I sometimes take too much time when thinking about what to talk about or how to put what I mean into words and worry that I will run out of time and rush at the end, leaving me with no time to check for mistakes. How long should I take approximately? Or how much time do we have?
Hi Vania, you will have one hour and twenty minutes for parts 1 and 2, so it's a good idea to plan for 40 minutes for each section.
I am having the exam in a month, I will come back to tell you my note.
Thanks
Thank you so much!!
Thanks very much for watching, Miriam!
Oxford Online English, it takes special skills for teaching and to transmit with kindness, which I see in you, my parents are from the island of Puerto Rico, and they moved to New York for the American dream, my father worked really hard to have my siblings and I to go through Catholic schooling, I did have a hard time spelling which I was embarrassed to talk about so I started memorizing practically all the words, when you have any time could you analyze H.W. hat I have written here, thank you so much for time.
Thanks for the comment, Miriam! Your writing and spelling look great. Here is a suggestion for you:
Work on using periods at the correct time. For example: '...which I see in you. My parents are...'.
Hope this helps you!
god, I'm taking the exam in 2 weeks and I'm such a paranoid piece of trash that I'm watching it at 2am on Thursday
how did it go?
Jula Szewczuk I got 175 (B2 with grade B) 😏 good luck
Well done. Which part of the test was most difficult for you?
Jula Szewczuk well surprisingly the Reading part, when I got the highest marks in Use of English 🤷🏻♀️🙄
thx i will practise that. Were you video recorded on the speaking exam?
thanks alot
Hi, Can we use the question word "How long" with the present simple tense? If so, can you give us examples?? Thanks in advanced.
Nope
Do you have videos to learn how to write articles, email, report ?
We do, Daiana! You can find them on our website: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/write-emails-in-english, www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/improve-english-writing.
Thank you so much for learning 😍😍

I though procrastination (leaving everything for the last time) was a bad habit of Peruvians only . Hopefully, it's everywhere hahaha :c THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, IT HEPLS AAAAAAAAAAAA LOT.
i am having the exam in 6 days! Wish me good luck!!!!!!!!!!!
And what about the layout. I still cannot understand it. Could you tell me, please, how the essay should look like from the point of promts ... How should I write ? Only for or only against essay... ?
Awesome.
Glad you liked the lesson!
