B2 Key Word Transformations: An invaluable resource for B2 level

The B2 First exam is timed, and so is the Reading and Use of English. You only have 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete 7 different tasks. Use of English Part 4 consists of 6 questions to be completed, and if you’re not careful, that can eat up a lot of your time. This time pressure can add to the challenge, as you need to think quickly and make accurate transformations while managing their time effectively.

With 250 Key Word Transformations, you will get so much practice that you will enter the Use of English section with confidence. Instead of getting stuck and confused, you can sail through Part 4 and save time for other parts of the exam. 

Part 4 of the B2 First exam consists of two points each question, so it is important for candidates to answer all of the questions correctly and strategically. With two points per questions, you can either show you have a true B2 level, or you can get by with just enough to pass. This helps examiners know who shows a high level of language and those who might have trouble with certain vocabulary or grammatical rules in English.

250 Key Word Transformations contains a variety of practice exercises with the format and difficulty level of the actual exam questions. You can work through these exercises to familiarise yourself with the types of transformations required, practise using different grammatical structures and vocabulary. That way, you are more likely to get two points for each question.

In 250 Key Word Transformations, the complex sentence patterns seen in Use of English Part 4 are carefully broken down into simple sections. It helps you in understanding the fundamental grammar principles required for successful transformation. As you work through practice tasks that focus on different sentence patterns, you progressively gain confidence in rearranging phrases without losing their original meaning.

Whether it’s past tenses, passive voice, conditionals or phrasal verbs, this book has got you covered. You won’t be surprised by anything you come across in the exam after completing this book.
