- Hello, lovely students,
and welcome back to English with Lucy.
Today is an incredibly important lesson.
We are finally going to work out what your English level is,
A1, A2, B1, B2, or even C1, or the top level, C2.
It's so important to know
and understand your level of English,
because it helps you decide how to proceed
with your learning journey.
In this lesson,
we are going to go through a couple of questions
at each level so you can understand your English ability.
However, if you want to take this really seriously,
I have created a really in depth, free online level test.
This will more accurately measure your English level.
If you would like to take the free level test,
just click on the link in the description box.
Quickly, let's just revisit
what the CEFR levels actually are.
This is the Common European Framework of Reference.
It divides English into six levels.
We have A1 and A2, the beginner levels,
with A1 considered absolute beginner.
We have B1 and B2, the intermediate levels,
and then C1 and C2, the advanced levels.
C2 is a near native level of language.
All right, let's get started with this test.
We'll start with the beginner questions
and work our way up to the advanced questions.
I'll give you a few seconds to think about each answer
before revealing the correct answer
and make sure you share your results
in the comments section down below.
Okay, A1, question one.
She to read books every day.
It should be b, likes.
She likes to read books every day.
Number two, I have two and one brother.
Which answer is correct?
It should be d, sisters.
I have two sisters and one brother.
And number three.
I can't see very well.
Have you seen my, what should it be?
It should be c, glasses.
Okay, if you pass those three questions,
it's likely you have an A1 level,
but let's test for A2.
One, my mum is than my dad.
It should be b, taller.
My mum is taller than my dad.
If you study, you the test.
What should it be?
It should be a, will pass.
If you study, you will pass the test.
And number three, which of these sentences is correct?
I'll give you a bit of extra time here.
It should be c, they want to go with us.
Did you get everything right?
If so, it's likely you have an A2 level.
If you want to know for sure,
I recommend taking my free in depth level test.
The link is in the description box.
Let's move on to the intermediate levels.
Firstly, B1, number one, Jarrod, early in the afternoon.
Which one's correct?
It should be b, will be arriving.
Jarrod will be arriving early in the afternoon.
Let's try number two.
Which question was most likely asked based on this response?
I have never been to Paris.
Here are the options.
Which question was it?
It should be d,
have you ever been to Paris?
And three, report this sentence correctly.
I have to work tomorrow.
Which one should it be?
It should be d.
He said he had to work the following day.
Did you get all of those right?
If so, it's likely that you have a B1 level.
If you want to know with more confidence,
take the level test.
The link is in the description.
Okay, let's try B2.
Upper intermediate,
this is where it starts to get really challenging.
Number one, he have said that to you,
but at least he apologised.
Which should it be?
It should be b, shouldn't.
He shouldn't have said that to you,
but at least he apologised.
Two, choose the relative clause in this sentence here.
It should be b, who moved to the country three years ago.
And number three,
choose the correct sentence out of these four.
It's a, if you had learned the lyrics,
you would be singing in the choir.
Did you get all of them right?
If so, it's likely you have a B2 level, but as always,
if you want to know for sure,
you can take the more in depth test.
The link's in the description.
Okay, it's time we move on to the advanced levels,
The C levels.
We'll start with C1.
Number one, after nine years of marriage,
we decided to get a divorce, but we separated.
What should it be?
It should be b, on good terms, we separated on good terms.
Number two, we have developed several new
for market research to streamline our ongoing.
Which should it be?
It should be a, criteria and analyses.
We have developed several new criteria
to streamline our ongoing analyses.
And number three, which of these sentences uses
the passive perfect infinitive correctly?
It should be d.
Alejandro should have been informed of these changes.
Did you get all of them right?
If so, it's likely that you speak English to a C1 level.
As always, if you want to know with more certainty,
then take the free level test.
The link is in the description.
Let's move on to our final,
highest level, proficiency level, C2.
Number one, his lack of
and general unhappy nature contrasted sharply
with the extreme composure and humour of his brother.
Which should it be?
It should be c, charisma, charisma.
Extra points for correct pronunciation, charisma.
Number two, which idiom could replace the underlined portion
of this sentence?
It's b, to go back on his word,
to go back on his word to not fulfil a promise.
And number three, the department head of finance assured me
that this matter as quickly as possible.
It should be would be dealt with, would be dealt with.
Did you get all of those correct?
If so, it's likely that you have a C2 level
or you are a native speaker, although I assure you,
lots of native speakers would not be able
to achieve this level, especially in an exam.
