English B2 Part 2: Deduction, Emphasis, and Reporting
About The Course
B2 Part 2 is about expressing uncertainty and giving your speech rhetorical power. The primary focus is on Modal Verbs for Deduction and Speculation across the present and past (e.g., she must be tired, he might have left), which are critical for expressing advanced analysis. You will take Reported Speech to the next level, handling reported questions, commands, and embedded time changes with ease. Furthermore, you will learn techniques to create rhetorical emphasis using structures like Cleft Sentences (It was John who...) and Inversion (Hardly ever did he...). Functionally, the course applies these skills to managing conflict, talking about complex personality traits, and giving persuasive arguments.
