In this fourth block the learner continues to build on all previous units through a series of exercises which draw on past subject matter and structures whilst presenting new themes and functions. This level will lead the learner to the B2 or Independent User level of the CEFR. The lexical fields covered range from an extension of family vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, expressing obligations and permission using modal verbs and common collocations with verbs such as: do, go and play. Learners are also given a variety of examples of the differences between British and American English, the difference between 'say' and 'tell' as well as the use of 'so' and 'such'. The grammatical features of this block focus on the correct use of indirect questions, reported speech, modal verbs of deduction and supposition, -ed and –ing adjectives and 'used to' for past habits as well as extending structures seen in previous units such as: The Present Perfect tense, Will and Going to for the future and some more Frequency Adverbs and expressions. These structures enable the learner to converse with more freedom on an ever-growing range of topics and in a variety of natural situations. By looking at elision and the correct pronunciation of regular past tense verbs, the course continues to facilitate the natural acquisition of English by replicating the way we learn our native language – through repetition and contextual use.
