hello everybody my name is Steve Ford and welcome to your English level test this is a continuation
of the last test that I did which was level B2 that was Upper Intermediate if you did well
on the B2 we're going to level C1 which is the advanced level so are you ready let's go [Music]
so as usual you can see that we have the question and then we have the preposition options to choose
from so here it goes the world population will have reached over 11 billion hmm the year 2050.
hmm
and if you thought that the answer was by the year 2050 that is correct so we often
use this by when we are talking about the future perfect tense by the year whatever
this will have happened that's very common to use buy here so if you got it right high five number
12. the math test was really hard it took me an hour to finish so which one do you think it is
and if you thought that it was over that is correct so it took me over an hour it makes
sense in the context of the previous sentence because the test was so hard that it took a
long time it took more than an hour number 13. Chris excels Sports so what do you think
if you thought that the answer was Chris excels at sports good job first of all you
need to know what to excel at something means but if you are at the advanced level then you
probably are familiar with what this means so what do you excel at some people excel
at languages some people excel at computers and Mathematics and others excel at sports
maybe you excel at all three if you do wow by the way if you want to help me excel at doing

number 14 I don't care hmm escargo I'd rather eat something else which one do you think it is
well if you have watched my previous lessons then you probably knew the answer and in this case it's
I don't care for escargot some people do care for escargot and different kinds of foods not me
personally I don't care for it means it's a polite way to say when you don't like some kind of food
and nobody will get offended so if you say I don't care for that food well I made this food for you I
cooked it it took me two hours to make and it's totally disgusting but if you say sorry I don't
care for that kind of food probably your friend or your host will not be offended if you had said
I don't care about something be careful because that means that you don't consider something to
be important it's not important to me tricky just the one preposition totally changes the meaning
number 15 the sales manager is responsible hmm the marketing director and here are your options
so if you thought that it was responsible to the marketing director high five yes I
put this one in here particularly to see if you were paying attention because maybe some of you
put responsible for which also exists but it has a different meaning and you can see in this picture
here that she is in an inferior position to the marketing director so we would say responsible too
so you can say it in two ways she is responsible to the marketing director
or she is responsible for sales number 16 you should not go running a full stomach
and if you knew this idiom this phrase with a preposition it is on a full stomach high
five if you got that one right I just guess Steve Well you guessed right if
that's the case so on a full stomach means after having eaten you've just finished what
are some things you should not do on a full stomach ride on a roller coaster have surgery
go swimming okay now they're getting a little more difficult with two part
phrasal verbs number 17 I'm getting so fat I need to hmm fast food so you want
to get the correct preposition combination there's two prepositions that you need here
so if you thought that the answer was to cut down on high five so to cut down on something
in case you didn't know means that you start doing less of something especially because
it's bad for your health I know I know it's hard to cut down on desserts for some people
some people it's really hard to cut down on bread and for others it's hard to cut down on drinks or
maybe it's hard for you to cut down on all three let me know in your comments by the way if you
need more help learning prepositions learning phrasal verbs learning grammar pronunciation
I do give private lessons and I would be happy to receive your message to set up a free trial lesson
number 18 when strawberries are seasoned they are a lot cheaper here are preposition options
and if you thought that the answer was in season that is correct
in season means a fruit vegetable or other food grown or available at that time of year
number 19 I'm not hungry now but going to the gym will help me work an appetite
foreign so if you knew that the answer was to work up an appetite then you've done a lot of
English studying English speaking you've done a lot because a lot of people would not know that
one who don't have a very high level of English so to work up an appetite means to have a desire for
food you work up an appetite you create that appetite by doing something last one are you
still with me it's been a lot of work we need to follow all the rules and do everything the book
and here are our options
and if you thought that the answer was by the book that is correct so this is an idiom that
we use quite a bit and what it means is that we when you do something by the book you follow all
the rules you do it by the book okay everybody how did you do if you got seven or less then
you are at the C1 advanced level congrats and if you got eight or more then in my next video
