I discuss some important language for part 1 of the reading paper of the Cambridge Preliminary B1-level exam and include those words in a story called The Picnic.The formal phrases for you to change to a more informal version are the following:1) ‘I’ll make the arrangements,’ Marvin had then said.2) I’m sure I have a few eggs available. 3) Actually, I’m not sure I have suitable ingredients for tiramisu. 4) Would you be available at six o’clock?5) I suppose you have an announcement to make. 6) I imagine you won’t be able to attend.I'll give my versions at the end of the podcast.At https://www.practisingenglish.com/ I offer learners of intermediate-level English, grammar help and exercises and other English learning pages.https://www.practisingenglish.com/My latest novel for learners of B2 English is called The Tudor Conspiracy.
