Hello everybody, I hope you are enjoying the summer ! I want to ask for your help ! I have another RU-vid channel and it would help me if you subscribed to it and watched the videos. Could you do that? The channel is in English, so it is good for your English anyway, and it is all about one of my hobbies which is Towers in different places in the World. The link is ru-vid.com/show-UC-nbVOL-O64flOEE_XtOUJg Towers of the earth a.k.a. The Tower Hunters. Thank you all very much. Best wishes, David
Hi David. thank you so much for these wonderful videos and tips. Can you please let me know do you have any video regarding. B2 reading exams. Any tips or tricks you can share for attempting reading exam.
Thank you for these videos! Last week I took the spoken exam (C1 Expert) and your tips were very useful. Today I am going to try the C2 level and even if the video is dedicated to the previous level, I guess I am going to put in practice many of the things that are here said 😊
Hi Alicia, thank you for watching the videos and taking time to comment. I am very glad that the videos were helpful and I wish you every success in your exams. All the best, David
Hy David, please make video on Languge cert C1 writing listening and reading.I haven’t find any video on these topic infect there is nothing relating to these modules on RU-vid.
Thank you, David, for your valuable advice on how to pass the Expert Speaking exam. I would like to take the C2 exam next year. I have never taken an English exam apart from my GCE Ordinary Level. I have tested my knowledge of grammar and vocabulary etc online with British Council online tests. My level of English is between C1 and C2. I would also like to get a good grade. I have subscribed to your channel🙏
Thanks for your comment Bilal Ahmad. Please recommend my channel to your friends and also subscribe to my other RU-vid channel called Towers of the Earth. Best wishes, David
Hello David, thank you so much for your videos, they are very helpful. I took a test to assess my level of english and properly choose the right exam for me. I did some quiz and a little conversation with an interlucutor and resulted to be C1 borderline, but I'm not sure, maybe I should take B2 exam...my feeling is that I could do B2 well, but just pass the C1 level. Do you have any suggestion for me? And also, do you have any of your precious tips for the listening part? Thanks a lot!
Hi Gregorio, thanks for your questions. My advice to students is to take the B2 level if you are borderline. In this way you would be sure of a pass and possibly at a 'high pass' level. It would be a pity to pay the fee for the exam at C1 and then fail it. You can then always take the C1 or possibly C2 level in the future when your English has improved even further. My tips for the listening exam are basically to be careful because sometimes there is misleading information in the listening exam, which although seems to be answer is, in fact, not the correct answer. When you do the listening for the first time mark what you think are the correct answers and then on the second listening try to confirm that they the correct answers. I hope this makes sense ! 🙂Good luck, David
Hi david! Thank you very much for being so helpful! Would you mind telling me if we are allowed to ask for a change of topic in case that we have zero knowledge about the one suggested?
That's an interesting question. The answer is that you cannot ask for a change of topic because all of the topics used require very little , if any, factual knowledge about the topic. All topics are general. Remember this is a test of your ability in English NOT history, IT, geography etc. Good luck, David
@@superklarita Just one more thing. Could you please help me by telling all your friends about my RU-vid channel and ask them to watch and subscribe too? David

Hello Mr David. As far as part 3 is concerned, shall candidates discuss all the six statements or just some of them? Thank you for your precious suggestions ☺️
Thanks for your question Antonella. Yes we could 'goes by' as in 'the alloted time' goes by ! But you are correct - normally it is twenty 'seconds go by' ! Did I make a mistake here? If I did, it just shows you that anybody can make a mistake , only now and again, of course ! David
Good morning David Thanks for your video guide. the C1 oral exam therefore focuses only on Practice Paper 3? is it enough to prepare only on this track? Thanks for your suggestions
No, you need to prepare for a variety of possible questions. The exact questions are rarely repeated but the topics are usually fairly similar. Just keep practicing questions about all topics. Good luck, David
Hello David, I have done the c1 speaking yesterday and in the third section happened a thing that you have never mentioned. In fact afeter a minute of discussion about the topic that was written in the page, the interlocutor changed topic and she asked me two questions different from the topic? Is this good or not? In addition she did not ask me the follow up questions at the end.. Is this good or not?
Well of course it is not your fault that the interlocutor did not stick to the given task. As long as you spoke clearly and logically it shouldn't be a problem. The follow up questions after your part four long speaking are not obligatory so you don't need to worry about that. Please let me know when you get the results. David
@@The-English-Professor HI David, I took 46 out of 50 in the speaking section. Thank you for your advices! Now I hope to have passed the written part with at least 25 in each sections.

Hello david.! I hope you are fine.. i going to take exam of language sert I'm good at writing English but when it comes to speak English that time makes difficulties for me due to lack of confidence and talking to people i don't speak too much with people I'm not at speaking .. could you please tell me something how could i overcome on this so i would get good bands in this exam Thank you
Hello Gulfam Hassan, you need to prepare for the exam by speaking English about various topics. Start with what food you eat for breakfast, then talk about your daily routine, then what you did last weekend etc. Then when you take the exam just imagine that you are talking to yourself. The questions the interlocutor asks you are questions you are asking to yourself. This should help overcome your nervousness. Also try to read questions from the practice papers and record you answers on your mobile phone. Good luck, David
Of course it will impact on your score but there are many things to consider e.g. how long have you spoken before getting stuck, are your other speaking parts good ?
Today I had LRW test and it was 4 hours. Just had 2 hour test and my paper sheet was off. Then again I turned it on but it didn't turn on and it was processing. I deleted and reinstalled it and started the rest of my paper. I told the Interlocutor that I had this problem and he told me that its ok don't worry, I have considered your feedback, so don't worry and Good luck... Will there be any problem in this? After that I had another 2 hour paper.
Just write down everything that happened during the exam with an indication of the time that each thing happened or went wrong. I do not know if it will be a problem but just in case, you will have an accurate record. They should at least let you try it again....but that is just my opinion. David
Hello devide today i recived my other modules result except speaking and i got 50 out of 50 in listing reading writing i hope i get 50/50 in speaking too ! My speaking result will be on Wednesday 🌺 🤞🏻
The link to the question paper mentioned in this video is paper 3 www.languagecert.org/en/language-exams/english/languagecert-international-esol/c1-expert-2283#spoken
The student starts the actual discussion! E.g. You say " We need to discuss the topic 'x' and decide........." . What is your opinion of ........? " And then the interlocutor responds.
@@zooniroyy1030 No, what you wear is not important. You can wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. The exam is usually recorded and the examiner is ONLY interested in how you speak English.
