Advanced Usage Practice & Feedback : transformations

The primary feature of Advanced English means knowing different ways of saying the same thing, aka as "range". One effect of this is that when a word changes, so do other elements of the sentence which is what we explore in these sessions. 

Prior to the session, we send you Advanced-level sentences and statements, testing your knowledge of the vocabulary items, structures or usages, for you to rewrite with the same meaning and using a specified keyword. We then review the answers and discuss those with which participants had difficulties, and why alternative possibilities may not not apply in a specific case. Depending on time, we may also explore other related topics which may arise.

What’s confusing you so much? + LOT

        > What is it that’s causing you such a lot of confusion?

It is reported that he is now recovering in hospital.     + RECOVERY

        > He is reported .......... in hospital now. 

I was amazed because there were no problems throughout the holiday.     + WENT

        > To my surprise, nothing .......... on that particular holiday.

These sessions are also useful for those preparing for the Cambridge English C1 Advanced examination.
