How to PASS B2 First LISTENING Part 2 - B2 First (FCE) Listening Exam

[@SMASHEnglish]

have helped hundreds of people pass their B2 First exam at no cost, and I would LOVE to keep it that way. Of course, I still have to maintain a full time job while running this channel, and BELIEVE ME, I spend the majority of my free time writing, recording, editing and publishing videos. I love doing this, but I would love it even more if I could do it for a living! If every student that PASSED their exams bought one beer for Bruce I’d be able to do this full time. That would be MARVELLOUS! So, if you’ve PASSED your B2 First exam, and feel that SMASH English really helped, please consider donating here: www.buymeacoffee.com/SMASHEnglish This is not an obligation. One of the fantastic things about SMASH English is that it is free for everyone that needs it! This will not change. However, if you do feel you can say thanks with a little bit of money then that’s fantastic. Thank you all! Toby

[@francoleguizamon529]

Hey, Toby! Your method works really well, but I cannot write any predictions within 45 seconds! I must read them all before making any serious predictions, but it's impossible :(. Still, I can do the listening pretty well

[@andreagrasso7002]

You were really helpful!

[@MrGarlic97]

after hearing it the first two times, i was not realy able to follow the voice while readying the text. then the third time, when you got trough them step by step, it immediately jumped into my ear what to write

[@antonsanjeewarodrigo8070]

Thank you❤

[@SMASHEnglish]

It's a pleasure!

[@cretustefan-matei989]

Hey!! I had my Speaking exam FCE yesterday and in the Part 4, I started answering at all questions, and then, my partener continued. Is this ok? Now I’m quite stressed.Thank you for all your tips! You helped me a lot!!!

[@SMASHEnglish]

My pleasure :)

[@thidathida7312]

Hey Toby Please help Listening part 3 and 4 too❤❤

[@firso4ka0501]

I'm really bad at predictions 😭

[@Sebastian-sm4qy]

How can I know when to put one word or 2-3 word

[@MiloszMajda]

It’s hard to tell. When you see a one word doesn’t seem to be enough or correct, try to find a phrase which goes with this word. Especially, if it’s your first listening, then during a second listening you can focus on what is said with this word.

[@firso4ka0501]

Toby, if we use American spelling (colors), will it be offensive for examiners? Is it a mistake?🤔

[@SMASHEnglish]

Nooooo, American spelling is fine!

[@carminebernardo7540]

great

[@SMASHEnglish]

Woohoooo

[@juanbm2969]

Hi! How many time can you listeninng part 2?

[@Javier-mz1jw]

[@helanymelo4050]

LOL

[@RealYoTrey]

[@alexandertodorov6373]

WHERE IS THE KEY WORD TR, MR?????😊😅

[@SMASHEnglish]

[@alexandertodorov6373]

Can you make more??? They are very interesting and actually hard(pretty specific). Your content is amazing! ❤

[@SMASHEnglish]

I do them all the time!

[@you-gi4189]

it's the first time i'm not agree with you. I've no time to make predictions, when I only read sentences the time seems to be very brief

[@natlee36]

Making predictions is a great tactic (my teacher at school thinks that too), but I agree, I'm not a fast reader myself so I'd rather just focus on trying to read everything before the recording starts lmao but fingers crossed I'll do fine on the exam tomorrow since I got all the answers correct here 🫡 there's hope

[@Deskjet2772]

Love your videos, but honestly, this is not a realistic strategy. Look, in your own analyse in 45 seconds we don't even finish to predict sentence one. I know that you're slower in order to students understand the idea. But even being really fast, I don't think we finish reading and predicting more than 5 sentences, lasting 5 sentences unreaded and unpredicted. Cambridge preparation books also loves to share this unrealistic strategies, as we have 10 minutes do read calmy and really analyse , when we have less than 40 seconds.

[@SMASHEnglish]

Lovely comment. Sorry for taking so long to reply to it! I'm going to make a video about this :-)
