Cambridge Write and Speak by BartLabs

Stop Guessing What examiners want.

You're preparing for a Cambridge exam and need real, assessed practice in writing and speaking — not just general fluency. If your exam is coming up and your writing or speaking need work, this is for you. Don't let unfamiliarity with what's actually being tested cost you marks.


Who you'll learn from.

I'm Bart. For fourteen years I've taught English and prepared people for exams — and trained the teachers who do it, at the British Council and International House. My MA in Applied Linguistics was built around one question: how people actually raise their scores in high-stakes exams. I know first-hand what a marker is trained to reward.

How the course works.

Live Classes: One task, taken apart

Each session takes one speaking and one writing task type and breaks it down: what it is, how it's built, the register and language it needs, and exactly how it's scored.

You Write and Speak: Real tasks, real feedback

Between sessions you draft real exam writing tasks and receive feedback in shared Docs. Every session you also practice speaking with a partner — and take your turn being assessed.

Marked properly: Scored under exam conditions

Your speaking and writing mock is marked the way the real exam scores it, with notes on exactly where the marks went — and where the next ones are.

Small group: Capped at 8 students

Everyone gets seen. No hiding at the back, no lecture to a crowd — just a small, focused group of people improving together.


What you'll cover.

Master Writing.

01.

The essay

The one task everyone has to write — Part 1 at all levels. Discursive at C2.

02.

The report

Structure, headings, and the neutral register that scores. B2, C1 and C2.

03.

The review

Opinion with style, kept firmly on task. B2, C1 and C2.

04.

The email / letter

An email or letter at B2 and C1, in an informal, semi-formal, or formal register — a letter only, semi-formal or formal, at C2 — and knowing which the question wants.

05.

Your level's task

The article for B2 and C2 or the proposal for C1.

Master Speaking.

07.

The interview

Short questions about you — where you set the tone and show range.

08.

The long turn

A full minute on your own — comparing and speculating, not just describing.

09.

The collaborative task

A conversation with your partner — where the interaction counts, not winning.

10.

The discussion

Broader, more abstract questions — opinions developed and justified.

11.

The collaborative long turn (C2)

Photos and discussion shared with your partner — not a solo minute like B2 and C1's long turn.

12.

The prompt card discussion (C2)

A longer turn built from a prompt card, followed by discussion — C2 has three parts, not four.
