Hear about the course from your teacher, Aimee
Also...
We will develop strategies and techniques for each part of the exam. Using lots of exam style questions.
​
The Cambridge exams do not have set topics and so flexibility is important.
So with that in mind we will look at a few curve ball questions i.e questions you may never have thought of or considered before
Don't worry though we will look at the common topics
​
We will look at vocabulary and structures you can use in many parts of the exam. It's always nice to have a few reliable phrases to fall back on in a stressful situation.
​
And also what to do if the exam isn't going exactly as planned - is your partner speaking too much? not at all? have you completely forgotten how to speak? Don't worry I'll give you techniques and phrases for all of these
