🦋 "Hedging in C2 Proficiency essays: good or evil?" By Alena Nikitina

Hedging is allegedly familiar to many. (Or is it?) But have you ever found yourself wondering how exactly you should use it? Let's be brutally honest: how many times have you completely forgotten to use hedging in an exam essay?

For CPE candidates, hedging might be a trap. We know we should use "might" or "tend to" , but do we hedge the summary of the input texts? The evaluation? Both? Neither? Get it wrong, and you sound either arrogant or uncertain. Get it right, and you demonstrate C2 precision.

In this 90-minute workshop, we are going to solve the dilemma and practice using this helpful tool in your writing. Stop guessing how to use hedging. Start writing with confidence.

📅 22 March, Sunday, 11:00 am MSK, Zoom
