​Exam tip: If you use a character adjective to describe someone in the exam, you should expand on it or explain it. Examples : She 's outgoing and sociable and always goes out with friends and colleagues. He's not very reliable, so, for example, if I email him, he won't respond. She's terribly blunt, so she often upsets us with what she says.

​Exam tip: In the exam, look carefully at the tenses used in the Part 2 questions, and 1 listen carefully to the examiner to hear which tenses they use in their questions, Does 1 the question relate to the past, present, future, or something imagined? This will help ~ you use the correct tenses when you speak,
