[@GiuseppeMalli]

Dear Ben, Giuseppe here from Italy. In November last year I decided to take the C1 exam, but I had to go through a ton of obstacles because of personal and job-related issues. Plus, I’m no longer a student so the spare time I can devote to studying is limited. However, three months or so before the exam I bumped into your channel and found it quite helpful and informative, especially the videos about advanced vocabulary/phrasal verbs. So, I took all the notes I could and went for it in the July session. Not only did I pass, but I also got grade A (202 overall score) with 210 marks in both the Use of English and Writing parts, where I made extensive use of C1/C2 words from your videos. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the invaluable material you provided me with, not to mention your tips for ‘blank mind’ moments, as I wouldn’t have been able to get those 3 extra points from 199 to 202 without your help. Sorry for this lengthy message, but I owe you a great debt of gratitude. Many thanks again!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's great, Giuseppe! Congratulations on passing the exam with such a great score. I'm glad my videos helped. And thanks for taking the time to send the message. I really appreciate it 🙂 All the best

[@GiuseppeMalli]

@@tothepointenglishwithben. You're welcome. While I hadn’t initially contemplated the idea of going on, now I am seriously considering it (at least, gearing up for the C2 exam). But I know it’s *way* more challenging than C1 so I’ll take my time to decide. Anyway, I’m over the moon, many thanks again! 🤗

I was floored whit this class. I thought I knes most of the verb but You showed me I definetely was not. My husband keep on eyeing my food since we knew each other 20 years ago. he always said he is not hungry and that have a bite of my food. My son came home sporting his new haircut. He looked very cool. I enjoyed it guested my colleague at my place for a while but I thing she milked it: she never bougjt food, foot a dinner or looking for a place to rent until I found her one. She was late once and now everyone one at the office labelled her Sleepy Me and my husband are shelving our dream to live by the beach until our son finished his high school in our town and goes to the University. The crying and the words of that poor girls been raped by a bunch of brutal guys are echoing in my mind since I saw it in the news last night. I always think to start to drive again but everytime I try I bottle it and come back home. The cost of life balloned since the town became a tourist destination. thank you very much for this video Ben!

Also Can I ask you for explanation of one phrase that I noticed in "The stranger things"? One charecter said "I'm being open". She meant that she wasn't closed/ She's ready to be open. But grammaticaly in this sentence am being - is it present continuous?

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Yes, the sentence is grammatically correct. We can use I'm being..., he/she is being..., they are being etc... + adjective to describe a person's behaviour at a particular moment. Eg "He's being difficult" "I'm being honest." "She's being unfair." etc

[@majap1707]

Hi Ben, how are you? I have a question cause I really don't get the rating system on Cambridge Exams (CAE). What are the requirements to pass? I realise one needs a specific amount of marks but do they count as a whole? Like, if I get for instance 50% from Listening and 90% from Reading and so would it be all right until the total number is within specific grafes or do I still need 60% from all of these parts? I am so confused and I hope you can possibly make it more clear... Best regards!!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Hi Maja. In the Cambridge English exams it's the global score that counts. Therefore, if you get below 60% in one paper, you can still pass the exam if you get over 60% in another paper. You need an overall score of over 60% to pass. Does that answer your question?
