Hi Toby! Thanks for the video! Honestly, Bruce is my favourite SMASH English character so far. Every show needs its own cynical alcoholic who is bored with his life.
Toby, you are the kind of english teacher I want to be in the future. I feel way more confident for my FCE Exam after seeing your videos, it is very fun to watch and learn from them. Thanks for making a such amazing, informative and creative content!
Hi Toby! I’m from Italy 🇮🇹,Continue like this you are the best channel to pass the FCE Cambridge exam! You make learning English fun and I really enjoying watching your videos. I have the exam tomorrow, If I will pass it, a great part of the credit goes to your fantastic videos!
Toby, I just wanted to thank you for all the knowledge and experience you have shared with us. Yesterday I sat my exam and definitely I wouldn't have done great with writing if I hadn't found your videos. I followed your advice with speaking as well but it was a bit more complicated since my partner was hesitating much. I'll let everyone know about Smash English because it's just the best thing I have ever seen in my life for English.
I continue making videos for comments like these, Gonzalo! Thank you so much and I am very happy to have helped you! Don’t worry about the Speaking, I am sure it went great! Don’t forget to come back and tell me your score!
Oooo! Hello Milena! No problem! It was a pleasure! Good luck with everything and I'm sure you'll SMASH it! Please do not forget to let me know how it goes!!!
Hello Toby, you are totally crazy and without you passion for yt, i would be totally lost… I hope i will pass the Cambridge B2 exams. Thanks for helping me. You smashing it!
The content of today's video can seem fun, but underneath, wrapped in a humour set, it hides a piece of very useful information, and well structured as well, a big thanks and greetings.
Hello Toby, I just discovered your channel a few days ago. I thank you a lot for your videos that have helped me a lot. I just wanted to know if you planned a "collocations" video?
Welcome, Yann! How did you find the channel? Are you preparing for the exam right now? Anyway, I do not have a collocations video planned. However, as I do more Use of English practice exercises more collocations will be included! Thanks for the comment and I am happy to be helping you!
@@SMASHEnglish Hello Toby, thanks a lot for your reply! I just came across one of your videos and quickly subscribed. Yes, I'm preparing the B2 first at the moment. It sounds good. As much people, Use of English could be a challenge for me! I thank you for you kindness and your positive attitude and I sincerly wish you and your funny partners a great success!
@@SMASHEnglish Well, I've not planned anything yet. It's like a wedding, a big decision to make. 😂 I 'm working hard but never know when I'm ready. 😂 However I am doing it as quick as possible... And your channel seems to be one of the best way to achieve it!
hey, toby !! thank you so much I've been watching a lot of videos and it's helped me a lot AND GOD I DID NOT KNOW YOU PUT TOPICS TO REPORTS thank you soo much andd..... by the way, exam is tomorrow wish me luck!! 😖😓 💖 from Srilanka
hey, Tobii today's the day I checked it out ...and well THANK GOSH...I PASSED (well itz a C but well at least I passed lol) i got 169 yayy gosh tysmmm I watched your vids the day before my exam lol good luck in your future tobii 😊🥰 💝 from SL...
I already have a video on writing an informal email: ruclips.net/video/sZrA7Fjx_70/видео.html The structure is very similar to a letter. I will make more videos on letter and email writing in the future though! Thanks, Vovan!
I took the speaking exam today, and in my opinion it didn't go very well. I hope tomorrow will be better with the written exams! Anyway, thank you for your amazing job Toby!! Your channel is the best.
Sara! Please do not worry too much about how you performed! I am sure you did your best, so let's wait and see! Please let me know when you find out you've passed! How do you feel the other parts of the exam went?
@@SMASHEnglish Thank you Toby for your kind words! The other parts went pretty well, I didn't have time to check the writing because I wrote it in capitals letters, and the examiner made me copy it. Anyway, I hope for the best, otherwise I'll try again. I will let you know!
Hey Toby! I received the results, and I take the b2, unfortunately with 172 points due to the writing, which I hadn't had time to double check because they made me copy it in lowercase. I'm happy anyway, I really have to thank you! The next step is c1 😎
what i used to do in the practice exams, instead of counting every words, i counted 2 or 3 lines and averaged the number of words each line contained to have a reference at least.
At first , I was like huh how do you know that Monica is my name!! but anyway you made this video more interesting because i felt like you were talking to me😄
Hey Toby, I have been watching your amazing videos and they've really come in handy. But I've got a question. In the report, are the titles counted as part of the 140-190 words?
Hooly :c Now I think I'll be more concrete when writing. I'm watching all your videos for my exam. I hope I can reach the C1 🥺 THANK YOU for all your knowledge you share with us
Tobby what if in a report it is required to describe my own experience, for example: "to write a report on a part time job that you have done", can i be more personal or should i be general about the topic? One of the tasks says that i must explain what i have learnt from the job, in this case do i have to speak in the first person or not? Thank you!!
Hi Toby! thank you so much for your job.. your video are really useful! I'm doing a lot of exercises for the writing part and I found a lot of report on my b2 first practice test book. Lot of them explicitly ask for personal point of view, or report about personal experience, so I find difficult to apply your suggestion about impersonal tone of voice, and usage of fake insights. Any suggestion about how to write the report in these cases? For example: Example1 We hope you have enjoyed studying with us. In order to plan future courses we would be grateful if you could write a short report giving us your views of the course. If you have any suggestions we would also like to hear them. Example 2 I am writing to all members of the Active Leisure Club to thank you for your custom over the last year. We want to make the facilities even better this year! Please send a short report to us, telling us what you think are the best and worst aspects of the club. We also want to hear your suggestions for new facilities... Example 3 Please send us a short report about one of the above, in which you give; a) a brief description of the facility b) your views c) any recommendations
Toby, can one provide a recommendation or suggeston using the subjunctive referring to a ''he'', ''she'' (the CEO for example) or an ''it'' (such as a company)? For instance, ''Based on the interviews conducted it is strongly recommended that the CEO listen better to his employees''? Would that be considered complex grammar? Thanks in advance for your reply and for your videos; they have helped me a lot!
Hey Toby! If I can have a request could you make formal letter which contanis e.g. a complain or smth else? I'm taking my FCE B2 in one month and the writing part is that what scares me the most. I could use some of your valuable great videos :) Anyway, thank you for yor effort that you've made so far.
Hi Toby! Thank you, your videos helped me a lot! However, I have a question: I'm doing some practice tests right now and the report question ask me to "say what my classmates like/dislike abt the school magazine focusing on the sport page and the school news section. My question is, what titles would be better? Do I have to write the 2nd paragraph exclusively for the "sport page" (with the positive and negative) and 3rd one for the "school news section" or is it better to talk abt the positive of both sections on the 2nd paragraph and then the negative? What do you recommend in this case?
Hi. I don' t understand one thing. The topic of the report could be anything. Am I given infos about the topic I have to write a report on or do I have to improvise ? I mean, all I have at the exam is the title of a report ? Thank you.
Hello! I have this video here about linkings words: ruclips.net/video/l1Z7XiMeWiw/видео.html If they are good for an essay, they are good for a report!
Hi Toby, this video is absolutely great. However, it would be greater if you could prepare the PDF worksheet so that we can print it for convenience. Hope to see your response.
Hello! Happy you like the video! As for PDFs etc, I will prepare more non-video, course-like materials in the future. However at the moment I am working on building a presence on RUclips so it will be a while! Thanks for the comment!
hello, i have one question. does the paragraphs' titles are counted into general amount of words or are they not taken into the account? thanks for the aid, i have my exam in saturday and i am stressed about it, hopefully the stress will be washed away soon
Hello! I'm great! So, for the essay you do not need to write a title, so don't worry. For an article you should try and write an exciting title that will catch the reader's attention. For a report you do not need to write a title for the entire report, but each paragraph should have its own title. I hope that helps! I have videos on reports, articles and essays if you need any more tips!
The grammar, yes, and also the Use of English. Be careful with writing though. For C1 Advanced you are required to write a proposal instead of a report AND essays are slightly different.
Hello there from Russia! I have a question. I’ve seen a lot of examples of other reports, and almost every of them has numbering system, and it, as I read, helps you to get a higher mark in communicative achievement. Is it better to use this system or use your structure, OR it doesn’t matter?
Good question! It is your decision. If your handwriting is messy then it might be a good idea. HOWEVER, if you do decide to double space, make sure it is clear when you start a new paragraph! (Leave two lines, not just one). Hope that helps.
Hi Mr. Toby I have a quick question, the use of idioms in speaking and writing allows you to get high marks or they’re are considered just as simple and basic English?
Hey Ele! Nooo! Idioms are very good. Of course the words are simple "once in a blue moon" for example is not complicated BUT knowing that the words in this combination produce a very different meaning is considered advanced level English. So YES! Use idioms but MAKE SURE you use them correctly!

What about a conclusion Tobey?
Hi Toby! thank you so much for your job.. your video are really useful! I'm doing a lot of exercises for the writing part and I found a lot of report on my b2 first practice test book. Lot of them explicitly ask for personal point of view, or report about personal experience, so I find difficult to apply your suggestion about impersonal tone of voice, and usage of fake insights.
Any suggestion about how to write the report in these cases?
For example:
Example1
We hope you have enjoyed studying with us. In order to plan future courses we would be grateful if you could write a short report giving us your views of the course. If you have any suggestions we would also like to hear them.
Example 2
I am writing to all members of the Active Leisure Club to thank you for your custom over the last year. We want to make the facilities even better this year! Please send a short report to us, telling us what you think are the best and worst aspects of the club. We also want to hear your suggestions for new facilities...
Example 3
Please send us a short report about one of the above, in which you give;
a) a brief description of the facility
b) your views
c) any recommendations
Hello Toby, thanks for do helpfull lessons, any idea how can I check and be sure that Im ready to try pass an B2 FCE exam? Thanks a lot!
Check the FCE Mock Tests in this website:
engexam.info/ielts-cae-practice-tests/
Toby, can one provide a recommendation or suggeston using the subjunctive referring to a ''he'', ''she'' (the CEO for example) or an ''it'' (such as a company)? For instance, ''Based on the interviews conducted it is strongly recommended that the CEO listen better to his employees''? Would that be considered complex grammar? Thanks in advance for your reply and for your videos; they have helped me a lot!
Yes Martin! That would definitely be considered complex grammar! Have you seen my video on the subjunctive? It is in my C1 grammar playlist!

Hi Toby, I have a question, cause how do you do research if you don’t know what the topic will be?
Hi Toby! Thank you, your videos helped me a lot! However, I have a question:
I'm doing some practice tests right now and the report question ask me to "say what my classmates like/dislike abt the school magazine focusing on the sport page and the school news section.
My question is, what titles would be better? Do I have to write the 2nd paragraph exclusively for the "sport page" (with the positive and negative) and 3rd one for the "school news section" or is it better to talk abt the positive of both sections on the 2nd paragraph and then the negative? What do you recommend in this case?
I personally would discuss the sports and news page in paragraph 2, then classmate opinions in paragraph 3 and finally recommendation in paragraph 4.
your videos are very helpful 😀
Perfect! I am pleased you like them!
You are cool!!!! Excellent!!!
Why you didn't upload it 2 days ago... :D
Sorry!!! 😇

Is there any difference between FCE and CAE report besides length in words? What are they if any?
toby, can i use this model for every report?

I can't stop laughing. How am I supposed to understand what you say?😂
waiting for reviews :)
Haha! Finally SOMEONE finds me funny!
Nice
Can I put a coma after " in order to do this" In The first paragraph?
Hi. I don' t understand one thing. The topic of the report could be anything. Am I given infos about the topic I have to write a report on or do I have to improvise ? I mean, all I have at the exam is the title of a report ? Thank you.

A few report's tasks want students to include description of something. If only you had said how to deal with it:/
Hello there from Russia! I have a question. I’ve seen a lot of examples of other reports, and almost every of them has numbering system, and it, as I read, helps you to get a higher mark in communicative achievement. Is it better to use this system or use your structure, OR it doesn’t matter?
What do you mean by numbering system?
Hi! I have a question... Do we have to include a general title?
No, it's not necessary for a report. Just make sure you include subheadings.
Question: Do we need to skip the lines between paragraphs?
Ps: Good video!!
Good question! It is your decision. If your handwriting is messy then it might be a good idea. HOWEVER, if you do decide to double space, make sure it is clear when you start a new paragraph! (Leave two lines, not just one). Hope that helps.
Hi Mr. Toby I have a quick question, the use of idioms in speaking and writing allows you to get high marks or they’re are considered just as simple and basic English?
Hey Ele! Nooo! Idioms are very good. Of course the words are simple "once in a blue moon" for example is not complicated BUT knowing that the words in this combination produce a very different meaning is considered advanced level English. So YES! Use idioms but MAKE SURE you use them correctly!
A report is only for FCE for adults? Or can it be included in my FCE exam for schools?
Only b2 first. Not b2 first for schools
Letter of complaint is only for FCE for adults? Or can It be included on mu FCE exam for schools?
Does the whole report need a title? Or only each paragraph?
P.S. I love your videos!!!
Hey, Chantal! No, the report does not need a title. You can write one if you want but it is not necessary! Thanks!!
