- C1 Writing Tips (aiming for C2) - How to Write Better Essays.
In this video, I show you how to edit a piece of writing and bring it up to a C2 level. I did start out aiming for C1 but I got carried away and made it even better! If you are studying for the Cambridge Advanced or IELTS, then this video is essential viewing.

I feel like I just found a treasure ,really informative straightforward explanation without any complications or amplifying unnecessary things which most of the videos do and make me get confused and overwhelmed, I greatly appreciate your effort 🙏
Wow! What a kind comment. I checked my channel and saw all the amazing comments so I have made two new videos this week and I am back! Your comment encouraged me to return, 😀
Please do not stop sharing these valuable videos, we really appreciate that
I just came back to my channel and saw all the comments. I'll make another video!
@@englishlearningexpert3595 we really appreciate that
I think you intended to write "the positives outweigh the negatives" in the last paragraph.
I did! I didn’t plan this first video, which seems crazy now! All the others in the series are planned and correct. This teacher learned his lesson! 😀
Can you make more of this kind of video, which shows people how to elevate their essay from B2 to C2. Thank you very much.
Yes - I’m back and made a new one this week.

Thank you, Teacher Stephen! This video is really helpful!
You are so welcome 🤗
Never stop making videos
Ah thank you! This is number one in a playlist - they get much better! 😀
I've just found your channel, and i already love that content. However, you showing that upgraded version of an essay made me question, isn't it too long? I always struggle staying within the word limit, and making more cohesive sentences
It could be but the language e.g. sentence structure, vocal etc is spot on. It's up to you to practise word counts when preparing for the text. Good luck.
Plz come back and do more videos..
I have just come back and found all these wonderful comments and seen that my video has 11k views! I will definitely do some more videos.
@@englishlearningexpert3595 we'd be more than happy if you come back!🎉🎉🎉
Nice video! Some questions: How do you know it's C2? Where do you find objective word ranks? English Profile?
Thanks! There’s a descriptor of C2 but in a nutshell it’s basically native level. I was a school teacher for many years so I know all about sentence structure, vocab, subordination etc and can put all that together to write a high level, educated piece. Finally, I passed the C1 exam in Spanish so I have experience of writing at a level below in another language - long answer but that’s how! 😀
i like this type of teaching style, is there any similar channel that teaches German?
I don’t know but thanks 😊
Thanks for a very informative video. I have a doubt if we should use question in an essay?
I would use one as a native speaker. However, check with your English teacher if it's for a specific exam.
Hi, very informative and useful. But I'm not sure about using a phrasal verb "shed light on" (neutral style) in this type of writing. Is it acceptable or is it better to avoid it and stick to formal style?
It's definitely okay. 'To shed light on something' is quite formal - we wouldn't use it in informal speech.
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. It is truly precious.
I have a question, though: in the hypothetical sentence, why after "were university free..." you use the present simple "it is more probable" and not something like "it would be more probable"?
Is it because it is a certain fact?
Hmm I don't know. I just know that as a native speaker, that sounded more natural but I think you could use both.
@@englishlearningexpert3595 thanks!
Do the negatives outweigh the positives or positive outweigh the negatives? I got confused a bit. Would you be able to correct me if I am wrong?
This was a mistake! Sorry - it was my first video and I just recorded without planning. In my others, there are no mistakes like that! 😀
Hi. Thanks a lot for your prompt response. Appreciate and comprehend your effort. As a learner I learned a lot from this video. I don’t want to point out your mistake. I just wanted check that my understanding. Thanks for the confirmation. Keep your good work up 🎉🎉🎉
@@Travelgirly Thanks and you’re super welcome 🤗
Can someone let me know where I could find question bank for writing ESSAY CAE? Thanks a lot mates
hi, can you recommend some writing books for c1/c2 level? Thank you!
No - I don’t know any well enough to recommend. However, I’m bringing out a PDF ebook of all my C1/C2 essays and I know have several videos - about 10 - where I show you how to write at this level. 😀
I would like to learn subjunctive more
Thanks for the feedback - I’ll see what I can do 😃
I don't really get why in the first text we talk that the positives outweigh the negatives, whilst in the second text we talk that the negatives outweigh the positives?
I concur, it is an error that he didn´t catch while reading it through the second time.
You’re right! I’ve made a better video now and have a system to spot issues. I just rewrote it live without any planning in the first one!
See my comment below 😀
I need exercises from A2 to B1🎉🎉🎉 Pleasee
Maybe one day but my channel is focused on B2 to C1 or C2.
Shall I use these advices to prepare myself for the B2 Essay?
Yes, absolutely
@@englishlearningexpert3595 Thanks for answering. I use it and I pass the test and now I have the B2. Next year I would like to apply for C2. Therefore, I will be studying and learning English everyday so as to achieve this goal. This video will be so useful to set up a progressive schedule.
@@gotpedra4274 congratulations - that’s amazing!
@@englishlearningexpert3595 Thanks. I love your videos.
@@gotpedra4274 Thank you - what a kind thing to say!
Please, i need your help in English language journey. I am an ielts aspirant and i wrote my exam once. I have got L8R7S6W6 overall 7. How can i improve my speaking and writing score into 7 or 7+ ?
If you email me a piece of writing, I could do a video where I make suggestions. My email is in the ABOUT section of the channel. If that’s something you’d like to do, please also include the task that inspired the writing. 😀
how many words you used a letter
Sorry - I don’t understand.
In the conclusion, arent the positives those who outweigh the negatives? I'm confused
Yes! This was my first video and I made a mistake... I didn't plan anything, I just wrote it straight from my head. However, the video is very popular and I don't want to take it down. My new videos are MUCH better and I plan everything I'm going to write beforehand. Well spotted! You obviously have a great level of English! :)
“The negatives outweigh the positives”? A mistake there.
I'll rewatch it :)
the problem is that I can't even write that well in my native language
That is so interesting… I was thinking about this the other day - what people in your situation should do. I spoke Spanish for 18 years but didn’t write it, until I decided to sit the C1 exam. However, I’m a very good writer in English so I was able to transfer those skills over to Spanish and I have an excellent online teacher. My recommendation to you: learn to write short essays in your native language. I recommend using the B2 FCE essay questions, as they are only 180 words texts. Then, see if you can find a teacher or someone who is a good writer and go through it with them - this is all in your native language. Once you’ve done that several times, like ten times, you could start trying it in English. You need to be able to write a 5 part essay - introduction, three main paragraphs and a summary. I have some B2 essay videos you could look at. You need to learn to walk before you run (and then fly).
Are you a native speaker?
Yes 😀
Honestly i find writing firstly ect unprofessional
It should be: Honestly, I find writing ‘firstly’ etc. unprofessional. 😀
@@englishlearningexpert3595 it's internet cmon 🙂
