Exercises to prepare C1 at EEOOII

This is a very interesting link to practise with the parts of the exam. I haven't checked all the models suggested but what it is  helpful is the fact that it's a summary of your level and it's divided in skills so you have several different samples of each skill.
This is the link: C1 exams
Maybe it's a repetition of what you already have but it's shorter, more clearly organised and faster to find or yo work with.
In the same site of Idiomium you have these links as well:

• Writing C1 and as a revision you could use this entry "tipos de writing"
• Listening C1 
• Reading C1
• Speaking C1 and also this link with advice for the oral exam
• CAE exam

Hope you'll find it helpful!

C1 - Inversion

This grammar point is shown in our Google Classroom but I'l give you this post just in case you can't see it there.

We’ve already seen inversions in English, especially when making questions and with short comments such as so do I / neither do I. But we also use them for these main purposes:

• To emphasize what we’re saying or writing: Nowhere did I find such a thing
• For using a very formal style, especially for writing: Towards the enemy went the soldiers
• For dramatic/aesthetic reasons: In Xanadu did Kubla Khan,...

The most common inversions are these:

• After starting a sentence with negative adverbs or negative adverbial phrase:
• Never had I been so embarrassed in my life (emphatic) but I’d never been so embarrassed (neutral)
• No sooner had she finished cooking than the first guest rang the bell (notice that sooner is a comparative form so we use than)
• Not only does she paint well but she also sings beautifully
• To replace “IF” conditionals: “SHOULD” for the 1st conditional, “WERE” for the 2nd conditional and “HAD” for the 3rd one:
• Should he be more polite, he’ll be invited to the party
• Were Trump to be re-elected, we’d get shocked (notice the use of infinitive)
• Had I known you were going to be so upset, I would have said nothing
• After adverbial expressions of place, especially after HERE and THERE:
• Here comes the bus!
• In front of the altar was the groom, waiting for the bride
• After SO + adjective ... + THAT … like in this sentence:
• So lovely was the afternoon that they went for a walk (very formal)

If you want a summary of this grammar point you can use these videos or links that may help you with inversions:

• BBC English Masterclass: focused on grammar issues
• Inversions 1
• Inversions 2
• Inversions in ordinary spoken English: watch this video
• Inversions in conditional sentences: go to this link or this simpler one with an exercise

Once you’ve seen the grammar point, let's practise with some exercises:

• exercises 1     exercise 2     exercise 3     exercise 4     

C1 - How to pronounce 3rd conditional sentences

This is the video I showed you in class. I've already found this video about that. Just to finish with you may use this video about American pronunciation: click here.

Just in case you want to review this grammar point, have a look as this chart might be useful:

Other forms instead of if

connectors	meaning	example
should	It means if by any chance… You must replace if for should	Should you see John, can you give him a message?
provided/providing	The same as if but a bit more formal	Provided you leave, you’ll catch the train
unless	The meaning is if … not	I won’t go to the doctor unless you come with me
on condition	This introduces a that-clause	On condition that we get the money, we’ll do it
as long as	It is the same as if	I don’t mind your coming as long as you keep quiet

How to write a review

As we've already seen some short films so I'd like you to write a review about one of them; maybe you could chouse the one you liked most. Don't do it too long, just 150-175 words as a short writing.
Nevertheless,  and in case you haven't been able to attend the session of ALCINE, you could do the write a review of a book or a film you've enjoyed lately.
To help you how to do it, there are plenty of links to see what you need to do it properly. This is the list of possible links:

• Writing a review for FCE: click here. At the end of this page you have some task to work with. Choose one of them or do it with the short films we've already seen in ALCINE.
• This link has an example of a book so it might be useful: click here
• This is a summary on how to write a film review, useful sentences and an example: click here

I hope this information will be useful but you might find some more on the internet.

C1 - How to Write a Proposal

It'son page a possibility as a writing exercise in the exam. We did it in speaking on page 8 so let's have a look as a writing paper. You may go to this link (the one used in class) but there are plenty of them on the internet. Remember you can also use the samples given by the British Council like this one.

C1 - Verbs followed by infinitive and/or gerund

In this lesson we'll have to practise with this grammar issue. You can find thousands of lists of these Verbs and I recommend learning them by doing exercises but also by hearing in mind useful exemples.

The other difficulty is to remember that TO may be a preposition as well so in those cases TO is followed by gerund as in the example of the book and some more:

• I don't get round to phoning you yesterday
• I look forward to seeing you soon
• My sister objected to spending more money on that

This is a link which shows you this problem: click here

To finish with, remember that many verbs followed by gerund and infinitive are related to indirect speech: 

• Followed by gerund: suggest, recommend, propose, admit, deny, etc.
• Followed by infinitive: accept, promise, agree, revise, offer, etc.

Just in case you need some help, you can have this list and do these exercises to practise a bit:

• exercise 1 (easy, as a warming exercise)
• presentation about reported verbs
• a kind of rephrasing to see how to improve your writing
• another exercise and this one as well

See yuo in class!

C1- Improving your writing

On the British Council page for teenagers you can find this section for improving your writing: click here with different kinds of pieces of writing. To start with and as a revision, you can see what they have about a for and against essay: click here and pay attention to the exercises you find there.
In class, we've been working orally with this kind of topic when we were speaking about advantages and disadvantages of a certain age: childhood - teenager age - personhood - elderly age.
