[S1] Hello! Good morning! | |
[S1] Good afternoon and good evening.[S1] Welcome to smashing English.[S1] Today we are going to be taking an advanced English test together.[S1] So this is a C2. | |
[S1] advanced English test, I'm going to take it.[S1] Let's see how many you can get correct.[S1] If you don't get any correct, don't worry, this is hard. | |
[S1] It's hard, it's hard stuff, but hopefully you can learn a little bit from it.[S1] So how are we all? Hello, we've got someone from Afghanistan watching, someone from Nepal. | |
[S1] This is so exciting, someone from Sudan, Belarus, hi everybody.[S1] Thank you so much for being here Italy.[S1] My goodness, thank you so much. | |
[S1] While we are doing this livestream, while we're doing this test, if you have any English questions, any questions about grammar, vocab. | |
[S1] whatever, let me know in the chat and I will answer them.[S1] So let's get started, shall we? By the way, we are currently in the process. | |
[S1] of moving house.[S1] So we've had to do a bit of a weird setup because a lot of our things aren't in this house anymore because we're moving. | |
[S1] so it's very stressful, I'm very tired.[S1] I've done a lot of painting and moving.[S1] Ooh, it's been a lot.[S1] But let's get started straight away, shall we? | |
[S1] Hello from Dublin Island, hello! Nice to meet you, hi from Prague, my goodness.[S1] So this is the test that we've got today. | |
[S1] and you see it.[S1] So, I've got 15 questions, and then we've got some questions where you have to put the correct verb in there.[S1] But let's start with this.[S1] So, | |
[S1] Question number one, all you need to do is choose the correct option.[S1] So we've got A, I think the show is about starting now. | |
[S1] B, I think the show is about in start now.[S1] C, I think the show is about to start now.[S1] What do you think? A, B or C? | |
[S1] What sounds good? What sounds the most likely to be correct? What do we think? A, B or C? We've got lots of C's. | |
[S1] Very good everybody, it is sea.[S1] Oh, someone asked, can we download this video after? Yes, this video will be available on YouTube so you can watch it whenever you want. | |
[S1] Yes, it's C because about two goes with just a base verb, just the infinitive verb.[S1] So I am about to watch. | |
[S1] She is about to see.[S1] We are about to eat.[S1] So we just need the normal verb.[S1] Here we go next one.[S1] So what do we think of number two? | |
[S1] You would have heard the news yet.[S1] You won't have heard the news yet.[S1] You will have heard the news yet.[S1] What's the correct answer? What do we think? | |
[S1] everybody what do we think what could it be? Oh someone said the scenery is so bad I'm so sorry | |
[S1] I'm moving house.[S1] This is as good as I can do.[S1] I'm moving house.[S1] Okay, we've got a.[S1] Someone says b.[S1] Someone else says b.[S1] Someone says a.[S1] Ooh, a bit of a mix between... | |
[S1] A and B, interesting.[S1] Okay.[S1] Oh, okay, A or B.[S1] Let's see a lot of people are saying A.[S1] A lot. | |
[S1] of people are saying A.[S1] So it's not A.[S1] It's actually B, okay? Because... | |
[S1] We've got this word yet.[S1] Yet is the key.[S1] So we use yet when we're talking about things that started in the past or continue now. | |
[S1] in the present perfect or for questions in the present perfect.[S1] So you might say, and for negatives as well, negative statements. | |
[S1] in the present perfect so I haven't seen that film yet leading up till now or I haven't seen | |
[S1] him yet.[S1] So negative sentences.[S1] So this is a negative, will not, will not.[S1] So you won't have heard the news. | |
[S1] yet up until now.[S1] We also might use yet for questions in the present perfect tense, so I might say, have you eaten yet? | |
[S1] or have you seen your friend yet? So for questions in the present perfect or negative statements in the present perfect, we're using yet. | |
[S1] So listen, you won't have heard the news yet.[S1] You will not have heard the news yet.[S1] So let me tell you Your dog is dead.[S1] I don't know something like that | |
[S1] Does that make sense everybody? Does that make sense? Someone says, okay.[S1] Interesting, good, okay, fabulous shout.[S1] Someone says, Nasea says, I won, well done, you won.[S1] Bye. | |
[S1] Okay, what about number three? So we've got what do you think you'll do? What do you think you'll be doing? What do you think you are doing? | |
[S1] 10 years from now.[S1] This is the key here.[S1] 10 years from now.[S1] Okay, that's the key.[S1] So what do we think? | |
[S1] What's your vote everybody? What's your vote A, B or C? What do we think? Someone says B, A.[S1] What else do we got? Any other B, A, B. | |
[S1] B.[S1] Okay, a couple of Bs and A's B.[S1] Or B, lots of B.[S1] Someone else A? The answer is... | |
[S1] down.[S1] B.[S1] Do you know why? Do you know why it's B? It's B because you will do. | |
[S1] So you will base verb, so you will go, you will see, is about the immediate future. | |
[S1] For example, if I'm talking to you about tomorrow, I might say, what do you think you'll do tomorrow? You will do tomorrow.[S1] I'm talking to you about the immediate... | |
[S1] future tomorrow.[S1] Be doing, so be verbing, will be verbing is about further than the immediate. | |
[S1] future.[S1] So I might say to you, what do you think you'll be doing next week? It's a bit more further away than immediate.[S1] So because it's 10 years from now, that's | |
[S1] quite far away.[S1] So what do you think you'll be doing 10 years from now? What do you think you'll be doing in a years time? It's a bit more further away.[S1] And it can't be this one because we... | |
[S1] we've got R.[S1] What do you think you are doing right now? So we can say that.[S1] What do you think you are doing? But it's gotta be about right now.[S1] Make sense, everybody.[S1] Make sense.[S1] Is that clear? | |
[S1] Is that clear everybody? Fabulous well done everybody you doing a great job.[S1] Let's move on.[S1] Oh, okay | |
[S1] So what is the right answer we've got? That's a small Victorian round wooden table.[S1] That's a Victorian small round wooden table. | |
[S1] That's a Victorian round wooden small table.[S1] It's tricky.[S1] It was really hard.[S1] What do we think? A, B or C? A, B or C? What do we think? | |
[S1] What do we think? Okay, we've got a vote for B.[S1] Interesting.[S1] We've got a vote for C.[S1] And we've got a vote for A.[S1] Nice and split.[S1] B. | |
[S1] A, A, A, or interesting.[S1] So we've got a bit of a mixture here, but a mixture. | |
[S1] Okay, so this is all about adjective order.[S1] So the order in which we put adjectives.[S1] And there is a list.[S1] There's an actual order that you can follow. | |
[S1] So when you've got multiple adjectives, you're supposed to put them in a certain order, but that's very hard to remember.[S1] And most of the time, | |
[S1] You are not, we wouldn't say this many adjectives most of the time.[S1] We wouldn't go, da, da, da, da, da, da.[S1] But if you need to, there's a certain order. | |
[S1] So the order should go, you only need to remember the first three.[S1] So let's just remember the first three.[S1] So the first thing you need to talk about is the number.[S1] So the number of... | |
[S1] something or the quantity of something.[S1] Then you want to talk about your opinion about it.[S1] So what's your opinion about it? Then it will | |
[S1] would be size.[S1] So we're going to go for number opinion size.[S1] Everything else, you probably are not going to get that far along but we'll go through. | |
[S1] it so here it's got to be A because size is the first one small because then the next one would be age so it would go | |
[S1] quantity, as a number of quantity, opinion, size, age, then shape and then | |
[S1] color.[S1] I know wooden is not really a color but it's kind of describing how it looks.[S1] That's a lot to remember, you know when you're speaking you're not going to remember that order really. | |
[S1] So as long as you remember, probably the most important one is opinion.[S1] Normally opinion comes first.[S1] So if I said, oh look at that... | |
[S1] Look at that weird little animal.[S1] Like it's a weird little animal.[S1] It's weird, my opinion and the quality of... | |
[S1] it is that it's weird, but this is not always true.[S1] Sometimes it doesn't work that way, sometimes the order gets a bit mushed up, so don't stress too much.[S1] Just... | |
[S1] Don't do a big long list of adjectives if you can help it.[S1] Does that all make sense? That all makes sense.[S1] Hi from France.[S1] Bonjour, théâri.[S1] C'est bon? C'est bon? Lots... | |
[S1] great job everybody well done if you've just joined us welcome we are taking an English test together this is kind of C1 C2 level so it's supposed to be hard okay it's not supposed | |
[S1] to be easy.[S1] Good afternoon, Deore.[S1] How are you? Okay.[S1] What about this one? Number five.[S1] What do we think? I was going to call you. | |
[S1] But then I forgot.[S1] I was thinking of calling you, but then I forgot.[S1] I was calling you, but then I forgot.[S1] What do we think? A, B, or C? | |
[S1] A B C C C it's like counting after three Say a simple melody That's how easy love can be | |
[S1] A B B C C C C C C C C I K L M L M D You've all got it? Well done.[S1] A, yes that's an easier one.[S1] You've all got that one.[S1] I was going to call you | |
[S1] But then I forgot, sorry.[S1] Okay number six.[S1] What do we think? Now this one again, it's important what's at the end? So we've got at the time I | |
[S1] to the airport the plane had left.[S1] In time I got to the airport the plane had left.[S1] By the time I got to the airport the plane had left.[S1] A, B, C, A. | |
[S1] That's a great song everybody, that's a great song.[S1] Oh we've got some C's, C, C, C, C, C, C, lots of C's. | |
[S1] you've got it well done.[S1] It is the C because by exaggerates a deadline.[S1] If you just say, at, it's a specific time.[S1] So at 10, I... | |
[S1] went to the airport, but by the time is more about like the time leading up to it and the deadline.[S1] So, oh, will you be finished by six? Will you be finished by the... | |
[S1] deadline of six so it's got to be by.[S1] Okay number seven bicycles are widely used in Amsterdam.[S1] Bicycles use widely in Amsterdam or bicycles | |
[S1] are in use widely in Amsterdam.[S1] A B or C, what do we think? A B or C? Oh.[S1] Is someone s- | |
[S1] says about the last question I hope that that will never happen to me, my nightmare.[S1] And I think that's someone talking about missing their flight.[S1] I've never done that, but I think that would, that I would hate that. | |
[S1] My friend went to the airport and she was ready to go away.[S1] She had an event in Germany and she gave her passport and they said, you can't travel. | |
[S1] because your passport expires in three months' time so you can't travel.[S1] Imagine that, you plan your whole trip, you're ready to go, you've packed your bags and then | |
[S1] and they say you can't go.[S1] Awful, terrible.[S1] Yes, what's everyone saying? So some B, some A's, some C's.[S1] So it's actually A. | |
[S1] They are widely used, they are widely used.[S1] We wouldn't use just use on its own, it's got to be used.[S1] And in use is a bit... | |
[S1] more formal.[S1] So in use is more about like you've got a machine or something or a toilet, you know, it's a bit more of a someone in there, it's in use, right? | |
[S1] now it's in use so you can't use it.[S1] So you might say, oh the shower is in use, someone's using it, you can't go in there.[S1] But that's a bit more about one specific thing. | |
[S1] that's being used, but we are talking about all the time.[S1] Bicycles are widely used in Amsterdam.[S1] What about eight? The children were looking after by my mother.[S1] The children looked after by... | |
[S1] my mother.[S1] The children were being looked after by my mother.[S1] What do we think everybody? Oh yeah, make sure if you've got any questions about English, we have the chat right here. | |
[S1] So feel free to send any English questions.[S1] Multi says I have an English exam tomorrow.[S1] This is great practice for you.[S1] Good luck.[S1] I'm sure you'll be fine.[S1] What are people saying? | |
[S1] We've got Vivian says C, Dior says C, Lawrence is B, Tania says C, or a K-couple of C's.[S1] A lot of people going for C, you are. | |
[S1] correct.[S1] Well done everybody, you're doing really really well.[S1] It is sea.[S1] So it's the passive voice they were being looked after by my mother.[S1] The children were | |
[S1] looking after.[S1] If you took away the buy of A, if you took this away, that could work.[S1] You could say the children were looking | |
[S1] after my mother, but that would be a bit weird, unless you've got a really, really old, ill mother and the children are really mature, that would be strange.[S1] But the passive voice, the children were being... | |
[S1] looked after by my mother.[S1] What about this one? I've just been done at the hairdressers.[S1] I've just cut my hair at the hairdressers.[S1] I've just been to the hairdressers.[S1] What do you think? | |
[S1] Well, what do you think? That's the end of the question.[S1] Someone says, what's going on? Kazakhstan online? Welcome! We are doing an English test. | |
[S1] This is an advanced English test and we are taking it together.[S1] So see how many you can get right.[S1] Oh great, we've got someone says A, someone says B, someone says C. | |
[S1] So the person says, A, lots of mixed responses here.[S1] So more A, some more B's, this one's quite mixed, interesting, interesting.[S1] Okay. | |
[S1] Ooh, interesting lots of mixed ones here, very, very mixed.[S1] So, is it B? | |
[S1] I've just cut my hair at the hairdressers.[S1] Is it A? I've just been done at the hairdressers.[S1] Is it C? The answer is... | |
[S1] See, because if you go to the hairdressers, you are not cutting your hair.[S1] You are not cutting your hair. | |
[S1] hurting your hair.[S1] If you go to the hairdresser's you don't cut your own hair, do you? You can say, I've had my hair cut, I've had my... | |
[S1] my hair cut.[S1] It happened to me or I got my hair cut.[S1] So I've had my hair cut or I got my hair cut.[S1] It happened. | |
[S1] to me, but you didn't cut your hair, so it can't be B.[S1] A, in the UK we have a phrase, I've | |
[S1] been done.[S1] We have that phrase but it's slang, it's colloquial.[S1] It means you've been robbed or scammed or someone has tried to take... | |
[S1] more money from you.[S1] So if I said to you, I've just been done at the hairdressers.[S1] That means that they took my money and they didn't do my hair.[S1] So technically a | |
[S1] could work, but it's definitely sea.[S1] I've just been to the hairdressers, what do you think? Okay, what about number 10? Sarah got her handbag snatched. | |
[S1] Sarah had her handbag snatched, Sarah's handbag had snatched.[S1] Snatch is this, is this action of taking.[S1] So she had her bag. | |
[S1] to do and someone took it.[S1] So what do we think? What's the correct answer of number 10? What do we think? Someone says A, someone says B. |
