About this episode

In this episode of 'What You Say in English,' I delved into the reading papers of the B2 First for Schools, C1 Advanced, and C2 Proficiency Cambridge exams. We explored the challenges learners and teachers face at each level and discussed effective strategies for developing reading skills.

Throughout the episode, I shared activities and strategies for each part of the reading papers, focusing on key areas such as skimming, scanning, and vocabulary comprehension. I emphasized the importance of practicing with diverse texts and provided insights into the assessment process for each level.

To further support your exam preparation, I recommended accessing the official Cambridge English guides for teachers and learners. These guides provide comprehensive information and classroom activities for developing reading skills at the B2, C1, and C2 levels.

Additionally, I announced that I will be offering one-off workshops on different parts of the Cambridge exams during the summer. Stay tuned to my TikTok channel for updates and details about these workshops.

As a comprehensive summary, I recommended accessing the official Cambridge English guides for teachers and learners, which provide in-depth information on developing reading skills for each level. You can find the guides at the following links:
