Excellent Exams

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

From January 25th, 6 key things for a review. Apologies for the poor photo. That disappearing word in the third point is "recommendation"!

An FCE blog with material for lots of different parts of the exam is here.

A recent email question from a student here:

I came up with a doubt yesterday, because I didn't know the difference between "be in time" and "be on time".

Thinka bout if you know the difference. Here's the teacher's reply - scroll over it to see if you were right.

Trains, buses, planes, English classes (hopefully), concerts, museums & shops open, depart or start and arrive or finish on time (rather than late).

People try to arrive in time (rather than late) for the start/departure of all of those.

If you arrive in the nick of time, you'd be relieved (and perhaps out of breath) not to have missed something!

You can send similar doubt to us as bclasrozas[at]gmail[dot]com - we'll answer the most useful ones here.

Additional advice to help you with articles is now on the download site here.

Go here and go to your level page for this week's task which is a download connected to writing articles.
