Listening at C1 and C2

7:40

there

7:40

between advanced and proficiency with

7:42

with pronunciation

7:43

finally i want to look at listening and

7:45

the big difference in the listening is

7:46

that

7:47

the conversations you will hear are more

7:50

natural

7:52

closer to the real english so that the

7:54

speakers speak

7:55

much more quickly and more fluently and

7:58

they use more

7:59

complex vocabulary now one of the

8:03

biggest mistakes that i notice people

8:05

make when they decide to take the

8:06

advanced or the proficiency exam

8:08

is being overconfident being a little

8:11

bit cocky because maybe they have a very

8:12

high level

8:14

of english but they don't prepare enough

8:17

for the exam and often they fail for

8:18

that reason

8:19

it's not enough to have a high level you

8:21

need to prepare

8:23

and one of the best ways of preparing is

8:25

to find

8:26

other people who are preparing for this

8:28

same exam

8:29

to help each other and maybe prepare the

8:32

speaking together to practice the

8:34

speaking

8:35

in particular or just helping each other

8:37

with tips and advice

8:39

and i have some good news on that

8:40

because last week i set up a telegram

8:43

group for for people who are preparing

8:46

for the exams in fact it's four groups i

8:48

have

8:49

the general group the general chat group

8:50

which everybody is in

8:52

and then a group for each of the

8:54

cambridge exams so the
