00:04
and today we are going to find out the answer to this question:
1
4082
4629
00:08
What's my English level?
2
8711
2423
00:11
It's a question that my students ask me all the time.
3
11134
4202
00:15
How do I find out my English level?
4
15336
2491
00:17
Well firstly nothing will beat a personal English level assessment
5
17827
4452
00:22
with a qualified English teacher
6
22279
2138
00:24
but I wanted to help you to get an idea about your level
7
24417
4483
00:28
and find out where you need to improve your skills.
8
28900
3008
00:32
So I've created an online English level test that you can do
9
32188
4341
00:36
right here today.
10
36529
2202
00:38
Are you ready to find out your English level?
11
38731
2699
00:41
Let's go!
12
41430
832
00:47
To help you find out your English level today,
13
47840
2827
00:50
I've created an English test that gets progressively
14
50667
3896
00:54
more challenging at every step. The first fifteen questions are
15
54720
4893
00:59
basic levels. You should get most of them right.
16
59613
3390
01:03
If you get more than five of these wrong in this section
17
63003
3578
01:06
then you're probably at about this level.
18
66581
3088
01:09
Then the next fifteen questions are intermediate.
19
69669
4029
01:14
If you get more than five of these questions wrong then your level
20
74130
3831
01:17
is going to be somewhere around
21
77961
1541
01:19
intermediate, upper-intermediate.
22
79502
2058
01:21
Then the last fifteen questions are advanced
23
81764
3854
01:25
and these should really challenge you.
24
85618
2161
01:27
If you get less than five of these answers wrong
25
87779
3874
01:31
wow!
26
91806
1160
01:32
Amazing! You're quite an advanced English learner,
27
92966
3196
01:36
particularly when it comes to your vocabulary range and your
28
96162
3792
01:39
use of grammar.
29
99954
1375
01:41
But here's the thing
30
101329
1554
01:43
even if you're not an advanced English learner yet,
31
103120
4577
01:47
I still think that you should watch through to the end of the test
32
107697
3551
01:51
so that you can learn some new vocabulary and some new
33
111248
2844
01:54
expressions as you go.
34
114092
1949
01:56
All of it is going to help you to improve your English
35
116041
3346
01:59
and push closer to that next level.
36

50

1209

51
164537
2779

Yes, it does.
60

I do yoga on Monday at 8am.
61

Margaret's been married since she was 17.
66

We have known each other for many years.

3538
06:04
Tom used to wear shorts all the way through winter!
68
364880
3512
06:18
If I go to the party, I will pick you up on the way.
69
378960
3730
06:23
Okay how are you doing so far?
70
383327
2651
06:26
We're gonna move on to the next set of questions now.
71
386385
3017
06:29
We're gonna take things up a notch.
72
389555
2489
06:32
These questions are at the B1, B2 levels. That's intermediate,
73
392248
4439
06:36
upper-intermediate level.
74
396687
1485
06:38
They'll get progressively more challenging.
75
398172
2263
06:55
You haven't seen him perform on stage, have you?
76
415040
2881
07:09
I prefer spending time with people who respect me.
77
429920
3604
07:24
It's not the same as mine.
78
444240
1834
07:38
I don't need to be back at work until three
79
458720
2422
07:41
so we should have enough time to visit the gallery.
80
461142
3945
07:55
Since we live and work together,
81
475520
2905
07:58
we see each other every hour of every day!
82
478425
3719
08:13
He might have visited China before I met him.
83
493440
3774
08:27
If you had told me you needed a lift, I would have left earlier.
84
507920
4312
08:43
He lives on the other side of the country.
85

My brother borrowed my car over the weekend.
86
536560
3061
09:11
It was such a beautiful sunset.
87
551040
2657
09:24
Has she spoken to me about it?
88
564480
2149
09:37
You had better start looking for a new job.
89
577680
2923
09:56
Neither do I.
90
596960

10:08
I had been living in Penang for a year before I even
91
608560
3829
10:12
tried asam laksa.
92
612389
2016
10:25
What amazes me is where you get all of your energy from!
93
625440
4121
10:30
Woohoo! So you've made it to the last section of this test.
94
630426
4560
10:35
If these questions are starting to get a little trickier
95
635215
3174
10:39
that's because they are.
96
639200
1487
10:41
We're starting to focus on some common expressions and some
97
641018
4741
10:45
fixed phrases so you'll need to have a really good understanding
98
645759
3995
10:49
of English to confidently move through this next section.
99
649754
3550
10:53
Now if you're not super confident about your answer if you just
100
653635
4470
10:58
take a lucky guess and you happen to get it right
101
658105
3543
11:02
good for you but still make sure you add a little star
102
662157
3852
11:06
next to that question and just decide if you really should
103
666009
3893
11:09
count it as an accurate answer.
104
669902
2098
11:14
Just do it for you. You're doing this test for you,
105
674400
3438
11:17
no one else needs to find out about how it was or if you got
106
677838
3762
11:21
all of them right,
107
681600
1220
11:23
just be truthful to yourself, okay?
108
683609
2552
11:40
On the whole,
109
700000
1078
11:41
I think you provided a good summary of what transpired today.
110
701078
3776
11:55
I agree with you to a point
111
715200
2643
11:57
but there has to be more to the story.
112
717995
2354
12:11
We had made plans to drive Granny to the hospital together.
113
731040
3742
12:15
And then for no apparent reason, Samuel decided not to come!
114
735040
4627
12:30
An electric car is a really economical way of
115
750400
3424
12:33
driving across Australia because they don't require as much fuel.
116
753824
4016
12:48
This kind of web application,
117
768720
2071
12:50
which is often used by remote teams,
118
770791
2736
12:53
provides the opportunity for informal interactions
119
773771
3340
12:57
throughout the working day.
120
777111
1619
13:09
There's no point trying to get everything done today. 
121
789280
3360
13:12
We'll just need to finish it off in the morning.
122
792640
2518
13:25
I had expected the airport to be deserted.
123
805760
3338
13:29
But on the contrary, I'd never seen it so crowded!
124
809607
4030
13:49
Thank you so much for helping us get organised before we depart.
125
829120
4483
13:53
At the very least, let me buy you dinner to show my appreciation.
126
833760
4823
14:08
I would ask you to stop using such strong language,
127
848960
4340
14:13
you're offending our guests.
128
853300
2031
14:25
I know you're excited to get started but it's a delicate negotiation.
129
865760
5072
14:31
Let's just take it one step at a time.
130
871360
2480
14:46
I've read this article three times over
131
886000
2988
14:49
and I'm still not sure what it's getting at.
132
889370
2516
15:02
He will certainly not be invited to our wedding.
133
902640
3027
15:05
After the way he treated Martha, he's not welcome.
134
905667
3119
15:19
When in social situations, try to avoid using  
135
919680
3440
15:23
technical jargon when you're talking about your work.
136
923120
3229
15:36
The two parties had such differing views,
137
936880
2949
15:40
they required a mediator to help settle their differences.
138
940338
3553
15:55
Mary has some quirks.
139
955280
1755
15:57
Even so, I quite like spending time with her.
140
957697
2870
16:01
Well done for making it all the way through!
141
961331
2772
16:04
Why don't you tally up your answers and see how you went?
142
964103
3586
16:07
If you want to, let me know down in the comments.
143
967689
2980
16:10
Let's just jump on to the last part of this lesson.
144
970669
2901
16:13
I want to talk to you.
145
973570
1288
16:15
Here's the thing.
146
975200
1419
16:17
I despise English levels.
147
977077
2880
16:20
Your English level on paper, the results that you get from a test
148
980670
4005
16:25
is really helpful. It's useful to know that information
149
985311
3990
16:29
but they do not define
150
989453
2114
16:31
who you are or what you're capable of doing in the future
151
991567
4171
16:35
and so often the way that we think about our results
152
995738
3729
16:39
or the way that we think about ourselves after we get those results
153
999467
4556
16:44
actually stops us from improving or moving forward.
154
1004557
4322
16:49
It really messes with our self-belief
155
1009108
2178
16:51
and it messes with our self-esteem
156
1011286
2461
16:53
and our motivation to keep going, to continue
157
1013920
3265
16:57
and sometimes it's that thinking that convinces us to give up
158
1017185
4775
17:01
or to reduce our ambitions, to settle for less you know.
159
1021960
5485
17:07
I was aiming for this and
160
1027445
1762
17:09
I don't think that I can do it.
161
1029360
1828
17:11
I am very lucky to know many, many incredible English students
162
1031188
5594
17:17
and I can confirm that those who score well on paper
163
1037200
4907
17:22
are not always the best communicators
164
1042438
2987
17:25
and that intermediate English speakers can be
165
1045425
2861
17:28
vibrant and effective communicators as well.
166
1048286
3696
17:32
Even if they don't have the
167
1052160
2451
17:34
vocabulary range or the accuracy with their grammar,
168
1054611
4176
17:38
they can still use the language that they have
169
1058787
3409
17:42
to communicate clearly and to communicate well.
170
1062196
4120
17:46
So now that you have completed this English test make sure
171
1066316
4705
17:51
please for goodness sake, please make sure
172
1071454
3318
17:54
you take note of the questions that you got wrong
173
1074772
3274
17:58
including the ones that you just took a lucky guess
174
1078046
2907
18:00
and you got right.
175
1080953
839
18:01
And learn from them.
176
1081792
1439
18:03
This is the opportunity that you have right now.
