I had my advanced exam on the 15th of July and spent the night before the exam watching your tips for the speaking part and it was extremely useful. I’d say I speak good English for a non native speaker but sometimes conversations can get pretty stale as I tend to repeat myself so your suggestions helped a lot to keep things “fresh”. I passed with a 206 out of 210 and considering I basically had to prepare the whole thing in a week I feel extremely proud. Thank you so much for your content, I’ll come back for sure if I feel brave enough to take the proficiency

Hi Ben. I have a question not relating to this topic. I hope you don’t mind. When quoting someone when do you put the subject after verb? Ex: “I like to dance,” she said. “but not with him .” Here is it “she said” or “said she”? What is the grammar rule here?

Ben, I took the CAE exam almost a month ago, the results came in a week ago and I failed by two points.. I got 178 :( honestly I feel sad and dissapointed at the same time, because my expectations were pretty high and franky, the computer-based style seemed to me quite organised, yet still I didn't pass. Until this day, I still can't process the fact that I got 150 points from reading part, which means I filled zero correct answers? I don't know.. but maybe Cambridge could send all of us the task, with a watermark on it, so people can actually see what they got wrong and all the mistakes in general. I was considering a second take this fall, because I had been studying a special 1-year "school course" that prepares students for B2, C1 and C2 exams and I am afraid that I will forget most of my vocabulary and knowledge, if not practised regulary, so thererefore I would like to try the CAE exam again. Do you think it is a good idea? Maybe you can perhhaps make a video about that, so students won't be demotivated or dissapointed if they don't pass their chosen level? That would be nice!
