Happy King’s Day everyone!
Our last class before Christmas we did quite a few challenging listening activities based on the
official Cambridge Exams, both the First and the Advanced.
Based on the official
Common European Framework, the First Certificate is the equivalent of a B2, or upper intermediate level and the Advanced Certificate is equivalent to a C1. To read more about this scale of language proficiency,
