Overview — Unit 2 (Higher)

• Theme: Careers, work experience, and future plans.
• Focus skills: reading for detail/inference, listening for gist/specifics, writing formal/informal emails and articles, speaking about past experiences and future ambitions.
• Grammar highlights: future forms (will, going to, present continuous for arrangements), modals for advice (should, ought to), conditionals (first/second), present perfect vs past simple, reported speech.
• Exam strategy: manage time, skim for main ideas then scan for keywords, underline dates/names/numbers, predict answers before reading/listening.

• The test will give you a sentence like: "She had worked at the clinic for 10 years before it closed." vs. "She worked there for 10 years." The higher level requires you to justify why the past perfect is necessary (emphasis on completion before another past event).
