You got right to the point again, Ben. You have a knack as a teacher. Never ever has one of my teachers explained these links to me as effectively as you have today. You may think I'm a sycophant, however that's just what I feel. I really appreciate each of your teachings. I'm getting addicted to them!! 🤓

@RedaZaidat 2 года назад

Hi I want to join as well. So could you tell me whether in those workshops you get the chance to talk, practise your speaking,interact with other students,like in a group as in a real exam. To be honest, what I need is not that theoretical knowledge but an opportunity where to use the passive vocabulary i have and be corrected by a prof. Do you get my point? Thanks in advance for answering my enquiryl

@cleoffesalvatti1360 2 года назад

@TheLizardskin 2 года назад

Despite the fact I am not a beginner at ESL and I already knew most of these linkers (except for 'nevertheless'), this lesson was very useful and instructive for me. I realized that I use but, altough or however too much. Actually, I use 'but' too much in oral language. I should use more times 'even though', 'in spite of' or 'nevertheless'. Please, make a lesson on the usage of expressions of addition, like: moreover, furthermore, additionaly, plus and so on. Thank you so much, teacher Ben.

Hi Ben! Very useful video. I want to ask you something about the listening for the B2 cambridge exam... What's the difference between the B2 first listening exam and the B2 for schools listening exam?

@tothepointenglishwithben. 2 года назад

The level of the two exams is the same. The difference is in the content as the B2 First for school contains topics suitable for school age children.

@anxxh5763 8 месяцев назад
