Yesss, thank you so much! Please make more videos about CPE. You're awesome.

[gianfrancomaggi]

YOUR LESSONS ARE SOMETHING NOT TO BE MISSED AS THEY ARE UNIQUE. THANKS A LOT

[tijntjeofive]

It's awesome to see all the steps you take to analyse this and find the solutions. Thanks a lot.

[mariaalicetavares]

Marvellous! I've never seen such useful video for whom is pursuing success in Cambrigde exam.

[thuynhungkhuat]

Pls make more videos about cpe, cae, IELTS. Thanks

[marie]

Awesome, extremely useful. Many thanks. Could we put "once" for no. 7 ? Please make more videos like this explaining the reasoning behind. I'm taking the CPE in June.

Great lesson, maestro! Would like to listen to more CPE task analyses. But I have a question. Aren't prepositions in phrasal verbs called "particles"? That's what I saw in Enterprise 4.

0:20 Actually I find this part pretty easy. In my view part 4 (Key word Transformations) is the MOST DIFFICULT one. There are some expressions required as well as collocations that the majority of candidates have never encountered before! Do they expect us to guess the answers at that very moment??? I think it is impossible...

@MrSkypelessons, thank you very much! Would "given that" have been appropriate for nr 13 and would "onto" instead "of" "to" have been okay for number 10 ? Thanks very much!

[adrian_lesz]

Please make some more... I'd be greatful for more videos like these :P

Hello Sir, So for no 13, it is about reduced relative clause but put it in front of the sentence? why the answer is not 'considered'?

[lanphuongnguyenthi]

can you give me the name of this cpe book

[soufyaneazoud]

I hope if you possibly could make a session on collocations, please.

[stefanodisperati]

Hi Dave!

Would it be correct to put “Provided” that bla, bla, bla in 13?

Thank you!

[togha]

When he read the first blank spot I seriously thought he was just clearing his throat :D

[bohdanukrynskyi]

Hello. Can we put " Now" in 13 ?
For example "Now that..."

[МаргаритаВасилева-дм]

Hello! In 7 is it possible for the answer to be “After”

[cristianbonucci]

I'm afraid no.5 is giving me a little headache.
Why can't 'fill', instead of 'filled', be considered as an equally valid answer?
If we correlate the missing verb with the immediately preceding chunk 'to answer questions', instead of the 'filed through' bit, the whole sentence still makes perfect sense to me. In other words, using a bare infinitive to introduce the second item of reasons for filing through.
Why should this choice be discarded?

The CPE has been revised in 2013 so the topics that you are talking about do not exist any more. To be honest the new CPE examination is much more difficult than the old one...
