Training for the Use of English of the Cambridge English First (FCE)
Why is the Use of English important?
You all know it: the Use of English is the most challenging part of the Cambridge English First (FCE).
It is here where points are often lost.
It is worth spending some time training specifically for the Use of English because:
- a good understanding of the Use of English can make the difference between passing and failing
or between getting an “A” and getting a “B”
- everything you learn for the Use of English will also increase your score in the other parts of the exam and
improve your communication skills in English
- mastering the Use of English is much easier than it seems, especially if you take the time to practise with a training tool like ours
Why should you use our Use of English trainer?
Our Use of English trainer is different from other material you can find on the market.
Rather than simply focusing on test simulation,
with only correct or incorrect feedback, our software has been designed as a learning and training tool. Our aim is to help you to understand the Use of English
so you can improve your exam performance.
Our trainer has been tested with students preparing for the FCE as part of a research project. The learners' feedback
was very positive: they found the software useful for preparing for the Use of English and they enjoyed working with it.
