      Same here. I was doing emotionally pretty good, until my classmates started to freak out. Now, I'm completely f*ked.
      And let me just say... Use of English (especially transforming sentences) is the worst part of FCE. I am "so f*king glad", that after listening we have 15 minutes break, and then writing followed by third part, because when your mind is completely blank after your poorly written essay/ letter or story, Use of English is simply a piece of cake. Tomorrow will be magnificent...
      I apologise for my emotional breakdown. I just wanted to give proof to others who are terrified that they are not alone...

    I noted that it's necessary to see all the sentences and to perceive the sense. Word Formation for me, it's very difficult to try to identify what is the word I'll complete in the sentence. ...However, If you pay attention for example..."Strong and _________" of course, you will complete with another adjective...and the begin of the sentence with this expression "Unfortunately...." you know that it treats the negative point...How I said, It's necessary to get the sense of the sentence.

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  2 роки тому

      Hi there. Are you talking about this sentence: 'Unfortunately, these farmers are _____ to sell their produce'?
      If so, the correct word would be 'unlikely.' 'Unfortunately' refers to something bad. If we said 'Unfortunately, farmers are likely to sell their produce,' that would not make sense because it is not logical that selling produce is a bad thing. Usually, farmers selling produce is a good thing. Hope that is helpful for you.

    What if you have an issue with the farmers .. say they have the monopoly and take advantage of that to keep the prices up.. ? .. then you could say :” unfortunately these farmers are LIKELY to sell their products “.. yet it would be incorrect according to the test , but not there being a pre context this can be ok too .

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  4 роки тому

      Hi there. It's important to think only in the context of the sentence given in the exam. If we said 'unfortunately these farmers are likely to sell their products,' it would be a little confusing without another sentence to say why it's unfortunate that they will sell products. In a normal situation, it's a good thing to sell products you produce. Therefore, keep it simple and stay within the context of the sentence that is given. This will help you in the exam overall. Hope this helps you!

      Hi Gaby. Here 'There is no point in...' is correct as written. If we use 'not' we would say something like, 'There is not a point in...' or, 'It is not worth...' Hope this helps you!
