S1 Ep12: Use of English (Cambridge Exams 3)

Author: Everest Language School July 19, 2019 Duration: 26:30
This episode is the third in our miniseries about the Cambridge exams – the Advanced and the First (also called the CAE and the FCE). Last week we looked at the reading exam and this week it’s the Use of English section. 

Joining me this week is Niamh, a teacher in Everest with lots of experience teaching the Cambridge exams. We give you some tips and advice about improving your grammar and vocabulary skills “in the wild”, and go through the exam in detail. Along the way you’ll learn lots of useful vocabulary and expressions you can use in the exam.

And don’t forget, if you miss anything, all the tips, vocabulary, grammar and other material is at everestlanguageschool.com/podcast 

Everest Language School invites you to join a different kind of language journey with Learn English With Everest. Instead of dry grammar drills, this podcast immerses you in the rhythms and nuances of everyday English through authentic conversations and engaging stories. Each episode is crafted to feel like a natural, supportive chat, where new vocabulary and structures are woven into discussions about culture, current events, and practical life situations. You’ll hear clear explanations from experienced teachers who understand the common hurdles learners face, making complex ideas accessible. The pace is deliberate, allowing you to listen, absorb, and repeat, building your confidence one conversation at a time. Whether you're commuting, cooking, or taking a break, this series provides a consistent and enjoyable touchpoint with the language, helping your comprehension grow organically. It’s more than just an educational tool; it’s a companion for your learning path, designed to make English feel familiar and within reach. Tune in to find a calm, focused space where improving your skills feels less like study and more like discovery.
