Cambridge English computer-based exams: same exam - same Cambridge certificate
What is a computer-based Cambridge English Exam?

- It's the most popular exam. There are reasons for this: more exam dates, faster results, user-friendly functions.

The computer-based Cambridge English Exam is the digital version of the Cambridge Exam which can alternatively be
written on paper. It is the identical exam in terms of content and timing of the exam. This means it contains the same four
parts to the exam:

•Reading & Use of English


•Listening
•Writing
•Speaking

The first three parts will be done on a computer while the "Speaking" part is taking place physically with two examiners
and candidates as in the paper-based exam. If you pass a computer-based Cambridge English Exam you will receive
the same internationally recognised certificate as for the paper-based Cambridge examination.
Hypothetical situations are situations that we imagine. There are specific English grammar structures,
phrases and forms to express hypothetical situations. Here are some examples of some hypothetical
situations using a wide variety of forms.

They would invest in R & D if they had the capital. - Conditional Form

If only we had enough time to take a vacation. - Partial conditional form / set phrase 'if only‘

It's time we improved our sales. - Set phrase 'it's time‘

I wish he lived here. - Verb 'wish' to express a desire

English uses conditional forms to express hypothetical situations.

If they have time, they will come to the meeting.


They would invest in R & D if they had the capital.
If Jack had taken the job, he wouldn’t have been satisfied.
There are also a number of other forms to express hypothetical situations in English.
Hyperthetical

Also:
Wish – When we are wishing for a change in a present situation, we use ‘wish’ plus the simple past.
When we are speaking about a past situation in a present moment, we use ‘wish’ plus the past perfect.
If only - Partial conditional form / set phrase 'if only'
It’s time - Use ‘it’s time’ with the past simple to talk about an action which finally is taking place,
or should take place soon. It always refers to an action or state that should have taken place before
the moment of speaking.
It’s about time – same as It’s time.
It’s high time – same as It’s time.
Would rather – with base form of verb. Use ‘would rather’ + the base form of a verb to talk about
our preferences in the present or the future.
Would rather - Use ‘would rather’ + past perfect to express hypothetical situations in the past:

Read this summery from Spanish policy. Talk about what you think it means.

Climate change has become an important concern around the world. Ultimately, the support of citizens is decisive if we are to
successfully tackle the social challenge that this phenomenon poses. Therefore, it is essential to understand what bears
influence on public support for climate change policies, in order to improve their design and their success.
Key points
• 1
•   The level of support from citizens is very different according to the type of measure involved: while only around one third
of those surveyed give support to banning polluting cars and to the tax on carbon emissions, around two thirds actively support
the water policy.
• 2
•   The most important factor that explains the support for both measures relating to cars and water is their perceived
effectiveness. In other words, people are prepared to give support to a policy geared towards achieving a desired result (for
example, reducing CO2 emissions or water consumption) if they have the perception that the policy will be truly effective,
even if it represents or demands a significant change in habits.
•  3
•   People living in Spain are more receptive to a carbon tax if it takes into account the citizens’ diverse economic capabilities
and if its introduction is combined with a reduction in other taxes.
• 4
•   Success when implementing public policies can be improved if we correctly define the target audience and we design
differentiated actions, according to whether citizens are directly affected by the measure or not.
differentiated – meaning? - to make a distinction.
receptive – meaning? - willing or inclined to receive suggestions, offers, etc., with favour.
decisive – meaning? - crucial or most important:
bears influence – meaning? - helps change attitudes
perceived – meaning? - assumed understanding
