Can you spot the mistakes?

Published about 9 hours ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

In our live member's office hours call this week, we were working on CELPIP speaking task 2 - talking about a past experience.

To warm our past tense skills up, we watched this fun 60 second video, and now, if you want, you can too!

Your challenge?

Watch it. Listen carefully. See if you can pick out the past tense mistakes.

Ready?

💪 Extra challenge:

Too easy? Try this! Listen again, but this time don't stop the recording at any time. See if you can write the correct verb on your note paper.

Want an even bigger challenge? Try and use those verbs correctly in sentences of your own, but only give yourself 1 minute to do so.

Ready?

Go!

IF you'd like to join us for our next live office hours call, you can! Members of the CELPIP Success school have a weekly live call every Tuesday at 5pm.

We talk - this week we talked about using AI to help with practicing for the exam. Two of our members shared their experiences with it - what's been working for them, and what hasn't been working for them and why.

We practice! We also practiced speaking task 2, talking about a past experience.

You can be a part of the next session by joining today!

Is the CELPIP just out to steal my money?

CELPIP Success: The newsletter Hello Reader, "Is the CELPIP just out to steal my money?" I've read versions of this question several times this week, and all from VERY frustrated test takers who were on their 7th, 9th and 12th attempts at the CELPIP exam. Gasp! 12 times! No wonder they were wondering if the CELPIP was corrupt and looking for ways to make money off them. I think I would be feeling that way too, if I were in their shoes. 🎧 Listen: In this week's podcast we're going to take a...

busy?

CELPIP Success: The newsletter Hello Reader, This week, and on multiple occasions, I read something that I find both totally understandable and puzzling at the same time: "I'm too busy to prepare for the CELPIP, and my exam is in a few days. Any tips?" Understandable: Being too busy seems like normal these days. I would even describe myself as being too busy. Too busy to consistently tackle the things that matter to me - or that I think or say matter to me. Sometimes it has been my dearest...

Do CELPIP templates help?

CELPIP Success: The newsletter Hello Reader, I see it again and again and again over on Reddit: can you give me a writing or speaking template to help me score a 12?

Maybe you've seen things like that online too? Here's the thing: templates offer the promise of an easy memorized win. Just learn this...
