WRITE the PERFECT B2 First (FCE) REVIEW! - B2 First (FCE) Writing

[@SMASHEnglish]

I 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.

[@aldoferreira2348]

Hey Toby! How is it going mate? Tell Bruce I’m confident ahead of the exams and he will have his beer!!

[@anezkacizkova1382]

I have my exam tomorrow and I'm gonna donate either I pass or not, because you've provided me so much help. Thanks a lot for your work, Toby! I wish I came across your channel a bit earlier.

Hello Toby , I watched a lot of your videos before taking my B2 First exam and I passed well with an "A" at a C1 level. I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH. couldn't have done it without you

[@aurorag2003]

Can't believe I can get all this content for free when the teacher who's supposed to help me prepare for the exam and that I paid for it, in the five months I've known him, hasn't even given me half the advice you're giving me in your 20-minute videos. You're amazing!

[@SMASHEnglish]

I hate to say this, Aurora... but I started this channel because I know first-hand how terrible teachers can be. I have met some amazing teachers in my life, but unfortunately most decided to teach English as a way to "travel and get paid". It gives the profession a bad reputation and hurts the experiences of the students. I am so happy to hear I've helped you!

[@dewmimarasinghe]

Toby is literally the best teacher I have come across in my life. I wish I could have him as a teacher in real life. , I can't imagine how fun the learning experience is going to be ❤ love from Sri lanka

You’re too kind ☺️☺️☺️☺️🙏🙏🙏🙏

So, in paragraph 2 I need to describe the item being reviewed and in paragraph 3 I need to mention what I liked of that (and what I disliked if the review is mixed).
