Speaking at C1 and C2

5:08

of the

5:08

exam where you are using your your

5:10

english

5:11

actively so i'm just going to give you

5:13

an example now to really demonstrate the

5:15

5:17

proficiency

5:18

referring to the vocabulary so imagine

5:21

it's in a sp

5:24

or in the speaking part of the exam and

you're speaking about
