At the end of this level it is expected that students can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialisation. Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party. Can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.

Writing an article.

For those who asked for the writing requirements to be posted,

Write an article (250-300 words) for a magazine describing two towns you've visited.
  • Use vocabulary that goes beyond basic.
  • Try to extol the qualities of each one. (See? Vocabulary beyond basic there.)
  • Must be written by computer and include pictures of both places.
  • Must include at least 7 words from the vocabulary on p.35 of your student's book. (You copied this vocabulary on your notebook. It included words such as: cosmopolitan, thriving, renowned for.)

Remember to proofread your article once you've finished writing.

Practice for module 2.

Hi guys!

As promised here you can find some practice to help you study for the exam.

Infinitives and Gerunds. (old post)
Present perfect simple and continuous.
Narrative tenses.
Vocabulary related to relationships.  (You can try this a few times, it generates slightly different versions each time)

As usual, if you have any questions, just leave a comment and I'll try to reply as soon as possible.

Good luck!
