I cannot imagine studying for Cambridge exams without Ben's videos! Thank you, Ben, for dedicating your life to help learners!!!

Not only is the chairman humorous but he is also kind. Under no circumstances should he share personal details with us.

Apologies for a couple of typos in this video: "responsible" and "initiative" are the correct spellings.

@12:25 The goalkeeper, as well as his teammates, is RESPONISBLE (sic... Lol)

Thanks for the video, Ben. Always a delight to watch your tutorials.

[evasanzmaestra]

Yes, I totally agree. He's kind, kinda humorous and professional. Thank you for your great work, Teacher Ben

[mariazomborszky]

Hi Ben🤩 Under no circumstances would I omit your always valuable lessons. Thanks for sharing and caring.

[GladysHunnam]

Thanks, Ben, for this video. Some of these grammar concepts I knew about, some of them I didn't know

[annamiller]

Thank you for a quick revision of the grammar :) I've already forgotten about cleft sentences and relative clauses :)

[Mahmoudery]

This video is very insightful, it not only explores some new idea for most of us and the the way to approach them in practice, it also demonstrates how the magic is done under the hood. You know, you listen to all these people with British-like accent and then you start beating yourself up because you're not relevant, such a sad feeling. And fact that it only focuses on the grammar side of an advanced c1 English knowledge makes it eased to grasp.

This is a brilliant video for almost all the English learners, xx. But I think I spotted a spelling error at 8:41, which should be "initiative" instead of "iniciative".

[lmachouche]

Just came across this video and found it very helpful. Thank you!
More lessons like this please 🙏

I need to study English writing tasks. It is the English writing task that I need to study. "Have you been to study English today?"My husband asked me. My husband asked me whether I had been to study English that day.
