How to say it
Confidence in English speaking is created by THREE pronunciation habits: (1) clear stress on content words, (2) weak forms on small words, (3) downward intonation at the end of statements (not 'rising and unsure'). Practise this in your final showcase — stress words feel HEAVY, small words feel LIGHT, sentence ends FALL.
Reading challenge · Section 5
8–10 minWhat happens after Pre-Intermediate?
Finishing a Pre-Intermediate course is a real milestone. You've moved from elementary safety into the territory where real conversations happen. From here, the next chapter (Upper Intermediate B2) builds on everything you've learned: it adds Past Perfect, third conditional, more nuanced modals (must have, might have, could have), more idiomatic vocabulary, longer texts and more independent speaking. The fluency tools you've built — fillers, reactions, hedges, connected speech — carry forward unchanged; they are the foundation for every level above. The single most important thing now is HABIT. Twenty minutes of English a day, every day, will lift you to B2 within nine months. Once-a-week intensity will not. Choose your next chapter, set a small daily ritual, and keep it up.
Challenge 1.What level is next?
Challenge 2.Daily practice for B2 in 9 months?
Challenge 3.What carries forward to B2?
Q1.Fluency tools restart at B2.
Q2.Daily 20-minute habit beats once-a-week intensity.
Q3.B2 introduces Past Perfect and third conditional.

Maya:Hi everyone — well, I can't believe it's the final lesson.
Maya:A year ago, I used to be terrified of speaking. I'd freeze on every question.
Maya:I'd say the biggest change is reactions and fillers — now I just keep going, you know what I mean?
Maya:Last week, out of the blue, an English colleague said my English sounded 'kinda native'. I nearly cried.
Maya:If I keep my daily habit, I'll start B2 in autumn.
Maya:I'm gonna read one book a month in English and watch British shows without subtitles.
Maya:Thank you, Khara, and thank you all — what a year.

Skills challenge · Section 7
5 minAll four PET papers — final integration
Task
Demonstrate every B1 skill in a 3-minute showcase + Q&A.
Strategy
Plan the showcase around 5 micro-sections: (1) where I started, (2) one specific memory, (3) what changed, (4) future goals, (5) thanks. Hit one example each of: past tense, future form, conditional, hedge, filler, reaction, connected speech, opinion. The Q&A is where reactions and echo questions shine — never give a one-word answer.
Example
'Hi all. A year ago, I used to be terrified of speaking. I'd say my proudest moment was last month when I argued with a London taxi driver about football — and won. Well, kind of. If I keep my daily 20-minute habit, I'm gonna start B2 in autumn. I wanna read one English book a month. Thank you.'

Writing challenge · Section 9
5 minShow what you can do
Your task
Write your full 200-word graduation showcase script using the 5 sections (where I started / specific memory / what changed / future goals / thanks). Include at least one of: past tense, future form, conditional, hedge, filler, reaction, connected speech, opinion.
Show model answer
Hi everyone — well, I can't believe this is our last lesson. A year ago, I used to be terrified of speaking English. I'd freeze on every question, you know what I mean? My proudest moment? Last month I had a 20-minute chat with a Scottish taxi driver about football — and I actually understood the accent, kind of. I'd say the biggest change for me has been reactions and fillers. They taught me to never go silent. If I keep my daily 20-minute habit, I'll start B2 in autumn. I'm gonna read one book a month and watch British shows without subtitles. Honestly, this course has been a real feather in my cap. Thank you, Khara, and thank you all. Keep it up — see you in B2.
