First: word formation (negatives)

For the B2 First exam, there's nearly always at least one negative in the word formation part of the use of English. There are lots of prefixes and suffixes we can use to make negatives. Here is some useful general advice:

  1. Negative prefixes can be used with nouns, verbs, adjective and adverbs. For example disapproval, disapprove, disapproving, disapprovingly.
  2. Usually im + p (impatient) but not always (unpleasant).
  3. Often il + l (illegal) but not always (unlikely).
  4. Often ir + r (irregular) but not always (unresponsive).
  5. Usually -ful changes to -less (harmful/less) but not always (endful / endless).
  6. If you can't remember, choose un - it's the most common negative prefix.

All the words in the table below are adjectives (unless stated in brackets afterwards - do you notice anything interesting about dis- and mis-?). Look at the information in the table for a few minutes and try to remember the words. Then click below to hide the information and try to answer the questions at the bottom.

2 Wtite an essay where you need to agree or diagree with the statement :
Some people think that it is important to use leisure time for activities that improve the mind, such as reading and doing word puzzles. Other people feel that it is important to rest the mind during leisure time.

Discuss both views and give your opinion in written

Everyone decides what they do best.  Someone likes to work on themselves and improve their vocabulary, for example.  And someone likes to have a rest. As for me I am more the second type of the person.  Because I don't like reading books or learning something I prefer in my free time to help with something or just relax.  The person who reads writes or teaches most of all does it in order to know more or improve something in himself and in the future he may need it when entering university or choosing a profession. But not all people are given to learn, remember or write well  something they do better with their hands.  And in the future it will also affect the choice of profession.  Such habits show your future from an early age.

(To) Stab someone in the back

Image for post
Image for post

If we take this idiom literally we could find ourselves in a whole lot of trouble with the police, as it would mean taking a knife or another sharp object and putting into a person’s back.

However, as an idiom to stab someone in the back means to hurt someone who was close to us and trusted us by betraying them secretly and breaking their trust. We call the person who does this a back stabber.

“Did you hear that Sarah stabbed Kate in the back last week?”

“No! I thought they were best friends, what did she do?”

“She told their boss that Kate wasn’t interested in a promotion at work and Sarah got it instead.”

“Wow, that’s the ultimate betrayal! No wonder they’re not friends anymore.”
