Let's get started with today's test.

Here's the first part of the story at B1, intermediate level.

First, shadow me.

Well, my trip's finally come to an end.

It's back to sitting behind a desk for eight hours without stopping from Monday.

I can truly say that it's been a real holiday and has taken me away from the stresses of London life.

I've had an absolute blast and I'm going to remember it for a long time to come.

Okay, question one.

Replace without stopping and real with words introduced during the challenge.

We should have straight and proper.

Sitting behind a desk for Ray Towers Straight and it's been a proper holiday.

Question two.

How do we usually pronounce been in fast speech?

Is it been with a long e as in C or been with a short i as in it?

We tend to say been with a short i.

It's been a proper holiday.

Remember in the day five materials of your free consolidation course you'll find a complete final exam covering vocabulary,

vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation from this entire week.

Here's the second part at B1.

Shadow me as I read the text.

I'm going to be honest.

When I was younger, I wasn't too keen on holidays in the UK.

I always wanted to burn my skin pink on a Spanish beach

or eat bread and cheese in a little cottage in France.

But this trip's made me change my mind completely.

I have two questions for you now.

First, what is the informal contraction of going to?

And how is it pronounced say it out loud

gonna usually pronounced with two schwa's gonna well done if you got that

and for my next question i'd like you to create a

third conditional sentence to finish off the text use the verbs in brackets and add any words necessary.

If I, how incredible it was, I, sooner.

And your verbs in brackets are know and come.

Ready?

If I had known how incredible it was, I would have come sooner.

Do you remember how we can use contractions here with I had known and I would have come?

I'd known I'd have come with that lovely double contraction.

If you're working towards B1,

my beautiful British English B1 programme takes you from pre-intermediate to confident intermediate in just 12 weeks.

You'll build strong grammar foundations,

expand your vocabulary and master pronunciation essentials while following Grace's story as she starts a new life in Australia.

With over 60 video lessons, interactive exercises and pronunciation training,

you'll have a strong foundation to navigate life in English confidently.

Are you ready for B2?

Upper intermediate?

Start by shadowing me.

My days are always full in London.

I'm constantly rushing from one thing to another.

That kind of fast pace is normal to me now, but I'm going to make an effort to slow down.

Okay, I have two questions for you.

Number five, use a word from the challenge to complete all three sentences.

We're looking for one word in the same form.

My days are always in London.

My dad made me a lunch every day for school school and the plane leaves in three hours and you haven't yet.

It should be packed.

My days are packed.

They're full.

This is the meaning that we looked at in this challenge.

A packed lunch is a small meal you put in a box

or bag and take to eat later at school or work.

That might be a new phrase view.

And to pack, the verb means to put something into a bag or box like clothes and toiletries.

It's the past participle packed in the sentence.

Okay, question six.

Which sentence is a correct replacement for that kind of fast pace is normal to me now?

Is it, I am used to live a fast-paced life or I am used to living a fast-paced life.

It's the second one.

Remember, it's be used to plus noun or gerund, the ing form of the verb.

And of course, it means something is normal for you.

I wonder if you're used to shadowing after five days of practice.

The best way to find out is by completing your final exam in the consolidation course.

Let's celebrate how much you've learnt in just a few short lessons.

Here's the next part, shadow me.

I've come to realise that the more time I spend in nature, the more relaxed I feel.

Not exactly rocket science, eh?

I've also realised that making yourself look a bit silly in front of the locals is a surefire way to make friends.

Okay, question seven.

How do we tend to pronounce the definite article before consonant sounds.

100

Is it the more time, the more relaxed or the more time, the more relaxed?

101

Yep, we usually use the weak form before consonant sounds as in the more time, the.

102

And question eight, replace making yourself look a bit silly with a similar phrase from the challenge.

103

making a fool of yourself.

104

Did you remember that one?

105

If B2 is your next level,

106

my beautiful British English B2 programme takes you from intermediate to upper intermediate in just 12 weeks.

107

Through Ryan's story as he adapts to British life, you'll master complex grammar, natural pronunciation, and sophisticated vocabulary.

108

You finish this three-month course speaking with ease, understanding natural English, and sounding genuinely fluent.

109

With over 60 video lessons, 12 authentic conversations, and full pronunciation training, your English will simply start to flow.

110

Okay, we're moving on to C1, the advanced level.

111

But we're flipping it around.

112

Complete the sentences you'll read in the passage.

113

Number nine, if there's a fly in the...

114

It's that I've now set impossibly high standards for future trips.

115

The answer is ointment.

116

Did you remember that a fly in the ointment is a small problem spoiling something very pleasant?

117

Okay, next sentence.

118

I'd love to do to take a road trip all around Britain.

119

I'm going to give you a clue.

120

We need a cleft structure.

121

What I'd love to do is to take a road trip all around Britain.

122

Which information is highlighted there?

123

The last part of the sentence, the thing they want to do.

124

Okay, now the text is complete.

125

Shadow me.

126

I've well and truly caught the travel bug and I've got a bucket list as long as my arm.

127

If there's a fly in the ointment, it's that I've now set impossibly high standards for future trips.

128

What I'd love to do is to take a road trip all around Britain.

129

But unfortunately, I don't have a spare six months.

130

Don't forget that in your day five consolidation course materials, you can practice all of this useful C1 level vocabulary,

131

grammar, and pronunciation with a full final exam.

132

You're going to love it.

133

All right, this is the final part of our story.

134

Let's see how it wraps up.

135

Shadow me now.

136

So, realistically, I've set my sights on discovering the craggy Welsh coastline.

137

I didn't find Nessie on this trip, but Wales has its own mythical creatures.

138

Next stop, dragon country.

139

All right, question 11.

140

In the passage, you heard the words craggy and mythical.

141

What synonyms for those words were introduced during this challenge?

142

A synonym for craggy is rugged.

143

Remember, rugged land is rough, uneven and wild.

144

Craggy is similar, though we often use it specifically for rocky surfaces with steep cliffs.

145

And for mythical, we had legendary.

146

Mythical means from a story, a myth and completely made up.

147

Legendary also means from a story, but it's often about real people like King Arthur, though legends do tend to be exaggerated.

148

Finally, question 12, pronunciation.

149

Which word in the phrase mythical creatures contains the long ee vowel sound?

150

The answer is creatures.

151

Mythical has two short I of vowel sounds.

152

As you work at achieving advanced English, your priorities shift towards refinement and confidence.

153

My beautiful British English C1 programme helps you reach true fluency in just 12 weeks.

154

You'll learn through Lottie's story as she settles into a British village, mastering advanced grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation along the way.

155

You begin strong but lacking nuance and precision in your fluency.

156

You finish the course expressing yourself with clarity,

157

subtlety and natural rhythm, the true marks of an advanced English speaker.

158

With over 60 lessons, 12 real conversations and dedicated pronunciation and writing training,

159

you'll have everything you need to sound naturally fluent.

160

Okay, brilliant work on completing this test.

161

You've just completed five days of focused, targeted training.

162

You've seen how vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and conversation work together in real British English.

163

But now it's time to access day five of your consolidation course.

164

You can join for free

165

and take the full comprehensive online final exam to see just how much you've learnt

166

and celebrate all your English wins over these past few lessons.

167

And before we finish, I want to remind you about Black Friday.

168

It's a huge opportunity.

169

It's my biggest event of the year.

170

I save my best discounts and most exciting bonuses for this one week.

171
