. Full of energy we went on with the speaking we done the week before. But before we practised Illya crossed two words on the white board which we shouldn’t use at the exam:
Comment from Illya - I actually crossed them out to force you to expand the phrases you use. Practice them now, and don't worry about them at the exam. With enough practice a variety of phrases should come naturally :-)

I would say…
My point of view…
I believe that…
I regard this as…
The picture suggests that…
This certainly is/ isn’t…
It could be…
It is clear that…
It’s clearly a…
It’s obvious…
Finally, we practised whilst listener 1 was looking for the content and listener 2 checked carefully the language and the interaction. After the feedback we headed for the reading on

Further one we trained the listening, the part of Multiple choice. One advice: Read first the question and make notes during listening. This important matter we realized we have generally to improve!
At the very end of the evening we had a short look at multiple-choice cloze, where it’s difficult to give tips: Just look at collocations.
As Feeling good is the main target at Unit 7 we got encouraged by Illya to compose a leaflet for a Fitness studio or a wellness Salon for stressed teachers. As a little addition: Just finish Unit 7 and stay healthy whilst learning all the medical expressions.

Greetings from Seattle to all you students in Illya's CAE class. I periodically check the site to see where you are in your studies. As we say in English, you are in the home stretch. Try not to stress out. Dorothea
