About B2 (Upper-intermediate)
B2, upper-intermediate or vantage, is the level at which learners can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular conversation with native speakers possible without strain. They can understand the main ideas of complex texts, including technical discussions in their field, and produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of different options.
Typical B2 grammar includes all conditionals including mixed forms, wish and if only, the passive in a range of tenses, modals of deduction in the past, future continuous and future perfect, and more complex relative clauses. Vocabulary work focuses on collocations, phrasal verbs, idioms, word formation and register. The matching exam is Cambridge B2 First (and B2 First for Schools); B2 is also a common requirement for university study.
On this page you will find printable worksheets, ready-to-teach lessons and vocabulary flashcard decks for B2.

- Practice essays, reviews and articles with clear paragraph plans and a range of linking devices.
