Curso de Inglês Nível B2: Proficiência Avançada

Welcome to your reading practice! Today’s text is designed to reinforce your understanding of the present simple, present continuous, and expressions for present habits. 

In our fast-paced world, managing study time effectively is a skill that can make the difference between success and frustration.

The present perfect tense is an essential part of English, helping us link past actions to the present.

We’ll focus on understanding the structure, tone, grammar, and vocabulary used in a friendly email.

How do you describe a busy day at work or an unexpected event clearly and effectively? This lesson will teach you how to use the past simple and past continuous tenses to narrate past events and set the scene for your stories. 

Have you ever needed to describe a situation where one thing happened before another in the past? Or explain how long something had been going on before a key event? The past perfect simple and past perfect continuous help you do just that, especially in professional settings or when sharing detailed stories.

Phrasal verbs are essential for expressing yourself naturally in English, especially in conversations about work. These multi-word verbs combine a verb with a preposition or adverb to create new meanings. For example, "take on" means to accept responsibilities or challenges. Learning these verbs will make your workplace conversations more fluent and confident.

Get ready to explore the Future Continuous and Future Perfect Simple, two essential tenses for describing travel plans and achievements. Learn how to talk about actions that will be ongoing ("I’ll be flying to Rome at this time tomorrow") or completed by a specific time ("By next month, I’ll have visited three countries").

In this lesson, we'll explore the future perfect continuous tense, a powerful tool for expressing how long an action will have been happening by a specific point in the future. Whether you're discussing a career milestone or your travel plans, this tense allows you to highlight the duration of an ongoing action.

Have you ever noticed how a small addition to the beginning of a word can completely change its meaning? That’s the magic of prefixes!

Have you ever wanted to compare two things or highlight something as the best? Comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs are the perfect tools for these situations.

By learning alternatives such as as...as, like, alike, and expressions using similar or different, you can add variety and precision to your language.

Articles like "a," "an," and "the," along with emphasis words such as "so," "such," "too," and "enough," can transform your communication. 

Noun suffixes allow us to transform verbs and adjectives into nouns, making it easier to describe actions, qualities, and states.

Imagine you’re shopping for something expensive—a phone, perhaps—and the salesperson says, “You must keep your receipt.” Then, you see a sign that says, “You must not use your phone here.” Later, a friend says, “You should try this brand instead.” What do these words—must, must not, and should—have in common?

These versatile tools help us express certainty, possibility, or impossibility about situations in the past, present, or future.

Today, we'll focus on the Zero, First, and Second Conditionals, combining them with vocabulary related to parts of the body.

Conditional statements are essential for discussing possibilities, conditions, and outcomes.

The third conditional is essential for expressing hypothetical situations about the past. 

Reported speech allows you to share what others have said without repeating their exact words.

In this lesson, you’ll learn to accurately report questions, along with vocabulary about media habits.

In this lesson, we’ll also focus on compound nouns and adjectives, which add precision and richness to your descriptions.

Understanding this structure helps you describe events like natural disasters where the focus is often on what happened rather than who caused it.

This lesson focuses on using the passive with two objects and introduces advanced disaster-related terms to describe events and their aftermath.

This is the passive with reporting verbs. It’s commonly used in news, academic writing, and formal situations.
