English Bits I would like to ask you a personal question. You have been teaching English for 8 years. When did you take the C2 exam? Did you take the exam while you were teaching English or take before teaching English? I heard at C1 you can start to teach the Language. In Germany, for example you need to pass the C2 exam to reach at school or university. After passing the exam with flying colours, do you have the feeling you are still learning new words?
@englishbits4 жыл бұрын
Yes, as I told you before I continue learning something new and it's cool because you never stop learning. I started teaching English in 2011 and I only had the FCE back then. In 2013 I took the CAE and passed it and did CELTA in 2014. In October 2017 I started my KZbin channel. In June 2018 I passed the CPE. And in October 2018 I became self-employed. 😁

Creo que intentaré el examen C2 el próximo marzo! Ya tengo el C1; lo hice el pasado diciembre!! Pero no tenía una buena opinión sobre estas pruebas de certificación lingüística! Ahora, es todo lo contrario!! Quería escribir en espanol porque en abril haré de nuevo el C1 de espanol, después del Proficiency, y porque siempre he pensado que si conoces la lengua madre de una persona, aunque se pueda hablar en inglés, es mejor!! Pienso que es un placer para la persona con quien comunicas; sobretodo porque quizás........ No se lo espera 😁😊 muchas gracias, de nuevo!!

PD: At the end got the C1. Got 197 score out of 210 (200 is A grade) and got over 200 in most skills, but indeed writing was my worst performance (around 184 or so I think) but also the topic wasn't very good for me.

I got 215 and it was Grade B. Will you try again?
@seth57334 жыл бұрын
@@englishbits That's impossible since the max points is 210 (which I got in reading doing perfectly) and as you can see in the image below, 200 is in fact A grade: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/665208004723081219/737644972265701487/IMG_20200728_141729.jpg Maybe ur talking about the previous system? About trying again Im not sure, I'd like to get the C2, so I might try directly for the proficiency exam, but Im not sure its worth it for me since I'm only trying to be a primary school teacher so maybe C2 is shooting too high? (It may help to distinguish more from other candidates though, maybe)

Do I compulsorily have to outline "The text talks about..." or "The first text..." "The second text..."? Because it makes the essay sound a bit less natural but still, I don't know if it's compulsory.

Hello! To tell the truth, I made this video two years ago and I don't really remember. In the description box you can download my sample essays and see if I wrote "the text mentions... ". 😅
