My English course

Tomorrow, my English course starts, and I'm a bit worried about that. I registered at for a B1/B2 Erasmus course, even if though I won't do take the Erasmus because this summer the basic course is not available this summer. I've chosen this one because I would like to practise English and to learn the everyday vocabulary which that is useful when you for short-term living abroad also for short periods. Moreover, next year, I will probably have take some courses in English at university, so I think that this English course could be useful. In fact, I haven't had the opportunity to practise English for three years. However, yesterday, I noticed that is this course requires a B2 level in at least two abilities described in the QCER, and I don't think I am so much fully prepared.

Here you go, Beatrice. I hope my corrections help. Please ask me if you have questions, and good luck with your course =)

Mr. Zhang has given his usual excellent corrections, but I'll add one or two points by way of explanation.

I think that what you actually meant here was:

...when you live abroad, or even if you go on vacation for short periods.

However yesterday I noticed that is required b2 level in at least two abilities described in the QCER

There is a difference between English and Italian here. In Italian you say that something is required, then say what it is. In English you say that something is required. So in Italian:

È richiesto un livello b2

but in English:

A level B2 is required.

The exception to this is when you're writing in the impersonal form, where English and Italian agree (more or less):

ha bisogno di un livello B2

and

You need a level B2.

• Can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in their field of specialization.
• Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party.
• Can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.

I've only seen two articles from you to date but based on those if you're below that, you aren't much below it. Certainly not in writing, anyway. You should be fine from what you've shown to date.
