--- Hello, thank you for your wonderful effort. I want an explanation of the Cambridge PET exam parts 3, 4, 5, and 6 in English.

Yes it is-And you can get a really high mark with the present simple-I recommend my students to use the present simple if the are not confident enough with the past simple. This year, all of my students got very high marks in the writings, so don't worry, using the present simple well can get you a really high mark!

Hi, this video has another example of an email: ua-cam.com/video/1iO7Jf48vg4/v-deo.html

Hi, which part do you think is the most difficult?

Hi, yes it's fine to go over the word limit a bit.

HI, in the B1 article you do not need to write a conclusion. That structure is more suitable for an Essay, but you can write a concluding sentence at the end of your article if you want to. For the article you need to make sure that you answer the exam questions. If you want, you can write an introduction introducing the topics you are going to talk about. Then talk about the two or three topics and finish with a concluding sentence. There is no "correct" structure for an article, maybe look at this video and my other videos on article writing and see what works best for you.

Yes, this one is also useful. All of the structures are effective, so you need to pick the structure that you think is best for you and your writing. The structure in this video is the same as this: ua-cam.com/video/ZzLddiNbZsU/v-deo.htmlsi=YhIf0sb5E3NZlRvx they both focus on topic sentences.

This one has topic sentences in each paragraph: they introduce the topic of the paragraph. The other structure introduces the topics in an introduction.

Hi, both of the structures will be fine in the B1 exam, so you can use the one that you think is the easiest to do.

​@@thenicholasrossacademyyou mean I can write with both structures whatever I like?

@@theinwarsan4583 Yes, use the structure that you think is the easiest. If you answer the exam questions with good grammar and vocabulary, you will get a good mark with both structures.

Hi, I'm glad that the videos are easy to understand. While I have a lot of experience writing and editing exams for various publishers, I have never worked as a Cambridge examiner correcting writing exams. However, I have worked as a Cambridge speaking examiner, so I am familiar with their marking criteria. I can confidently guess that the sample answer in this video would easily reach a B2 level of writing in the B1 exam.

Hi Nick, I'm glad you find the video useful. Here are some videos covering the other parts: Reading Part 7: ua-cam.com/video/KsFuIr7FcaE/v-deo.htmlsi=hlR0_uad1FC6Lr-3 Listening: ua-cam.com/video/FYEWCZD-lTU/v-deo.htmlsi=4tDU3yinDUH8yl9k Essay Writing: ua-cam.com/video/rLV_vnyrlOY/v-deo.htmlsi=OyZYmQTR6WPnLw0j I will be doing some more videos about reading pàrt 1, 2 and 4 in the future. I hope your exam preparation is going well, Ross

Ohh,-I hope that it works well! I've found the video is a good starting point. After that, i normally need to work on my student's commas, full stops and capital letters! In a couple of weeks, I'll be releasing a video about punctuation for beginners. The aim is show learners how to use capital letters, full stops and commas in Cambridge A2 Email and Story writing!

Remeber to use capital letters and full stops in your sentences! And use a few connectors like but, so or because! Good luck!

That's great to know! I am glad that they are useful!

Thank you for watching! What type of videos would you be interested in?

I'm sorry if I made some mistakes while writing this comment, I rushed a little

Hi there! Sure, but I'll have to schedule them for the beginning of July-I'll let you know when I upload them.

@@thenicholasrossacademy It's only May today, my friend, if you could upload the video in 1-2 weeks, that would be fantastic. July is too far away :(((

Hi Lina, I'm really pleased that you find the videos useful! You should watch the B2 videos because your English is very good!

Oh that is great to hear! I am glad that they are easy to understand-here's a video about B1 Article Writing! ua-cam.com/video/ZzLddiNbZsU/v-deo.html

@@thenicholasrossacademy Thanks a lot:) I hope you could share about how to do reading B1 part 1:)

I've watched your video about part 2 and it's wonderful

@@English-Steven Hi, I haven't done a video about reading part 1 yet; however, I have created a complete guide to reading part 6. Here's the link, I hope it helps: ua-cam.com/video/Ajwt3v6YqOU/v-deo.html

I'm glad to hear that! I use them with my students too. I think the best way to teach them how to do this task well is by recommending them to write one sentence per question! They should try to use a connector in each sentence. They MUST use capital letters to begin new sentences and full stops at the end of each sentence! At first, they always forget the full stops, but they get there in the end! This video may help for the story writing: ua-cam.com/video/UMcLcRabHOM/v-deo.html

@@thenicholasrossacademy Thank you so much!

Nice! Which ones did you get correct?

Me alegro mucho, estamos intentando mejorar la calidad de los video-espero que algún video te sirve!

Igual a mí. Me estoy peleando con cómo ayudarle a mis alumnos de B2 a mejorar y este tip está de lujo, o como dicen en 🇪🇸: "brutal"❤

Hi there! I don't have a video for the UA-cam video, but I have plans to upload one in two weeks. I will let you know when it's available!

@@thenicholasrossacademy Thanks so much! Great vids. Cheers from a fellow Cambridge teacher from Down-Under 🦘🇦🇺

Ohh nice! We had an Australian teacher on our team a couple of years ago! I think for the A2 E-mail writings, students will find it easier to understand this new video (rather than this old one): ua-cam.com/video/U-G2_OaPHJQ/v-deo.html

Hi there, I've just uploaded a new B1 video about Emails: ua-cam.com/video/hC1xuwAA1ZI/v-deo.html All the best!

Fantastic! incredible! You have included all 5 words from the video! I'm glad that the videos are helping, I hope you continue developing your English skills. Day by day, step by step-I'm sure you'll achieve your goals! Try downloading the worksheet from Lesson three to test your vocabulary! ua-cam.com/video/3tU5NxDV8_k/v-deo.htmlsi=20tKg3Dm9XLPJ-He

Hi! For the first line of each paragraph you can just answer the exam questions (keep it simple). For example, in the exam questions from this video, for the first question you can just write: I love watching comedy films because they make me laugh a lot. In the second question you could just write: My friends and I have a similiar sense of humour, so I enjoy laughing with them the most! With reference to your last point-sure! If there are only two questions, then just write two paragraphs with more information. Make sure you remember to answers the questions and DON'T include any information that is not related to the questions. Good luck with your exam! Let me know how it went!

Hi there! I'll be uploading another video next week about A2 LET emails. Have you see the other videos about writing? This one is about A2 story writing for the official exam: ua-cam.com/video/UMcLcRabHOM/v-deo.htmlsi=fw_W8FCrdcFW0ZuZ This video comes with a free worksheet. It has a Cambridge KEY A2 story-writing activity too: ua-cam.com/video/BcRcGlwu7cs/v-deo.htmlsi=I_zEYQKP7hJI6V6H

@@thenicholasrossacademy O ,it's very good ,I appreciate your work a lot

@@thenicholasrossacademy Btw ,are you a single person or a group ,and which country are you from?

Hi there, Firstly, if I assess your writing skills based on the message you have sent me, I'd like to say congratulations! If you wrote like this in the exam, you will easily achieve a B1 level! There are some improvements that you could make in this message, but I can see that you are progressing well and your writing skills are headed in the right direction! Regarding your questions about the official exam and the word count per activity, this should not be an issue. The word counts are provided as guidelines. The most important thing is to make sure that you answer all of the main points. So, even though you have gone over the word limit, this should not affect your mark. The only time it may affect your mark is if some of the information you have written is not related to the question. In the future, when preparing for B2, maybe try to stick to the word limit a little more and try to be as succinct (say more with less) as possible. Please let me know when you recieve your results, I am sure you'll pass! Summary-you will be ok! All the best, The Nicholas Ross Academy
