Hi guys! 
Welcome to another online lesson!

Let's get started, shall we?

These are the pages we'll be working on in today's lesson.


EXERCISE 1: GRAMMAR - Inversion

Compare these sentences:

1) I had never seen such a wonder.

2) Never had I seen such a wonder.

Why do you think they are different? Well, Dan, from BBC Learning English, attempts to explain the principle of inversion in only 90 seconds! (first video)

• First video: A general introduction:

You can click this link with the explanations from the videos. There's an interesting exercise you can do there, too:

Now, you should be ready to start working on the first page. 🙆

EXERCISE 2: ANGLIA Exam Practice - Section R4

In Section R4 of the ANGLIA exam, you have to do ten word transformation exercises. There are ten questions plus one example. More complex vocabulary (than at level B2) will be tested at level C1.

Any transformation can be used, including prefixes and suffixes:

e.g. convenient   👉 inconvenient
       easy               👉 easily

Multiple transformation may be asked for:

e.g. understand   👉 misunderstanding

EXERCISE 3: ESSAY WRITING - Types of essays

EXERCISE 4: ESSAY WRITING - Transition words
That's all for today, guys! 

Never have I had so much fun teaching a lesson like this!
I hope you've also enjoyed this lesson!

Bye bye!

Hi guys! 

As you all know, due to our current circumstances, we won't be seeing each other for a while, so here's your chance to keep up with your course.

So, let's get started, shall we?

EXERCISE 1: Let's warm up a bit!

Do you remember the GREAT LOT of useful expressions you studied last class? Let's put your memory to the test!

Complete the following sentences with the missing words.

• The two sisters __________ after their mother - they're very similar. 
• Due to our economic situation, we'll have to manage to travel on a __________.

EXERCISE 2: British and American English

Most of you have taken the B2 Anglia exam, so this question is about two major English varieties: British and American English. Think about the answer to the following question and share your ideas on Whatsapp, so we can all have a discussion  when we meet again.

• How important is it to be able to distinguish between these varieties in the exam? Consider these areas: writing, reading, listening and speaking.

EXERCISE 3: British and American English

Circle the words that are typically used in British English.

EXERCISE 4: ANGLIA Speaking Task 1

Complete the following text about Speaking Task 1 using ONE word. There may be more that one correct option!

EXERCISE 5: ANGLIA Speaking Task 1

Now, how about answering a few TASK 1 questions? Try to provide enough detail and use a wide range of vocabulary (like the expressions you studied last class) and structures.

• Would you please tell me something about yourself?
• Where do you see yourself in 5 years' time?
• What are your interests? How do you intend to develop them in the future?

💆Try to speak for about 4 minutes! And don't worry TOO much about mistakes at this point. Send me a Whatsapp voice note answering the questions. I'll give you guys feedback when we meet again!

Ok, I must leave you. Hope you'll enjoy this lesson and if you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Bye for now!
