Néhány tanács:
A szavak szótárazásához használj megbízható
nyomtatott illetve online szótárakat.

Igyekezz egyre gyakrabban egynyelvű

szótárakat használni, ahol angol nyelven
magyarázzák meg a szavak jelentését, és
példamondatokat is találsz, pl.:
www.thefreedictionary.com

Amikor a kérdésekre igyekszel válaszolni,

törekedj arra, hogy személyes álláspontod,
tapasztalataid mellett általános problémákat és
azok lehetséges megoldásait is mérlegeld! Így
mozdulhat el tudásod a B2 szint felé.

Ne csak a válaszokat dolgozd ki, hanem legyél

kész arra is, hogy a kérdéseket feltedd
másoknak. A vizsgázók többsége elakad, amikor
egy-egy témát párbeszédes formában kell
megbeszélni a nyelvvizsgákon.

Hallgass minél több audio anyagot. Ehhez egy

kiváló forrás, mely összeköti az angol nyelven
tanulókat szinte az egész világon: www.elllo.org

Használd fel az internetet, hogy minél több

nézőpontból közelíts meg egy témát. A Google
segít, de a forrásokkal kapcsolatban légy
körültekintő!

A táblázatok segítenek abban, hogy egy-egy

felvetés előnyeit, hátrányait vizsgálhasd, azaz
érveket sorolj valami mellett, vagy ellene. Ez a
gondolkodásmód segít, hogy akár vitatkozni is
tudj (lásd emelt szintű szóbeli érettségi),
másrészt a képes feladatok esetében (pl. szóbeli
érettségi 3. pontozott feladata) hosszabban tudj
kifejteni egy adott témát.

Nyelvet nem lehet csendben tanulni. Nyugodt

környezetben hangosan is mondd ki mindazt,
amit tanulsz. Használd fel a tanórákat arra, hogy
“közönség” előtt is megnyilatkozz. Az idegen
nyelvet tanulók legnagyobb ellensége az
aggodalom azzal kapcsolatban, hogy mit
gondolnak mások.
