    You hit the nail in the head when you chose the subject for today's video, although to be honest, you usually do it.Thanks

    Thank you so much, Ben. This video has hit the spot as well. In my last speaking test in the EOI I made a list of useful expressions for agreeing and disagreeing.
    Agreeing: Certainly, Indeed, Undoubtedly, That´s exactly what I think/feel, I have to side with you on this issue, You can say that again, It´s crystal clear that we are on the same page, etc.
    Disagreeing: I don´t think so, I don´t see eye to eye with you, I must take issue with that, I´m afraid I don´t really think you are right/that´s right, Obviously, we are on different pages, Undoubtedly, our positions are at opposite poles, I don´t buy it, etc.
    There are hundreds of them.

      Yes, there are many and your examples are great. I recommend memorising just a few to use in the exam.

    Hi Ben! "Let's agree to desagree!" is an expression I love so much... ♥️ and "let's put our differences aside"
    You nail it again, teacher!! 📌

    I love the expression ‘ you’ve hit the nail on the head ‘ , I reckon in Spanish it’s the same ‘ has dado en el clavo ‘ . Thanks Ben for the tips

      I've used it in my exam, but instead of saying you've hit the nail on the head I end up saying, "So I think I hit the nail on the head, didn't I?"

    It is extremely useful, Ben! I haven't heard of some of them. Let me ask you a question, please. Is there any rule or trick to understand when we use "that" and "which", it throws me off cause I've heard many people saying "that" all the time. Would you please explain it if it is possible. Thank you in advance!!!

    Thanks Ben for that, just watched this video before my exam and I believe I nailed it. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that the examiner (the woman who wasn't the interlocuter) was not writing down anything; she was just listening the whole time. That looked quite bizarre since shouldn't she have been writing down phrases and stuff to be able to justify the marks she would give us? Thanks in advance!

    • @tothepointenglishwithben.
      @tothepointenglishwithben.  Рік тому +1

      That is quite strange. The assessor usually takes note of the specifics of the candidates' performance as part of the evaluation.
