I have helped hundreds of people pass their B2 First exam at no cost, and I would LOVE to keep it that way. Of course, I still have to maintain a full time job while running this channel, and BELIEVE ME, I spend the majority of my free time writing, recording, editing and publishing videos. I love doing this, but I would love it even more if I could do it for a living!
If every student that PASSED their exams bought one beer for Bruce I’d be able to do this full time. That would be MARVELLOUS!
So, if you’ve PASSED your B2 First exam, and feel that SMASH English really helped, please consider donating here:


This is not an obligation. One of the fantastic things about SMASH English is that it is free for everyone that needs it! This will not change. However, if you do feel you can say thanks with a little bit of money then that’s fantastic.
Thank you all!
Toby.

Hi Tobby!! Yesterday I received the qualifications of the B2 exman and I was really surprised when I realized I got 185 points over 190 in speaking. Incredible! Now I'm into the C1 advanced level and I'm trying so hard not to give it up. Seriously, you're helping me a lot and I couldn't be more grateful of your work. I don't even know if you're gonna respond to my message but I guess yes.

I will be eternally grateful, your videos are great and very educational. You have saved my day. I would like to know a C1 structure for formal and informal letters. You are a start.

[camamama]

great video, super easy to understand. I love your mood! but most importanly, you don´t add any irrelevant information.

Hi Toby! Thank you! Great vid!

Hope you can answer some questions though.

Do the prompts need to be similar in nature? What I mean if the first prompt was negative, should be second be as well? Vice versa, when it's positive.

For example,
Prompt 1 idea: Work is exhausting it drains the existence of oneself.
Prmopt 2: Culture denies individual identity. It tends to create a monolith approach.

I understand it's compare and contrast but I'm having a time comprehending the essence of the essay.
Would it be fine for the first prompt to be overwhelming whereas the second to be underwhelming?
I find it easier to do it this way.

I have recently learnt to use the PEEL approach towards my essays but I am concerned about the details. They're not a hundred percrent factual but there's a little truth in them. I mean it's not fact checking right, but is that advisable? Fabrication of researches and articles in the prompts.

In addition, what level of being specific should I do in each example I give to the prompt? I'm now knowledgeable that experiences don't count.

Also, I'm confused where to apply the compare and contrast part? Should I take it holistically? Or do I contrast prompt 1 and 2? And compare them in the conclusion with my insight?
Is this a fine approach?

Thanks!
