Completing an Upper-Intermediate B2 English course is a rewarding milestone, and knowing exactly what to expect in the final project makes all the difference. Vicky Pena walks you through the last steps of the course, explaining how to apply every skill practiced throughout the lessons in a practical, real-world scenario.
What does the final project involve?
The final project asks you to imagine you are applying for a job at a fictional website called Employment Company. Just like in real life, besides uploading your CV, you need to answer specific questions that companies typically ask during the application process. The key here is that your answers must incorporate the grammar and vocabulary topics covered in the course.
For example, one question reads: "Could you please share a habit or a routine you had in your previous job? Why would you do it?" To answer this, you should use "would" to talk about past habits [0:38]. This structure — "I would check my emails first thing in the morning" — shows the interviewer that you can describe repeated actions in the past naturally and accurately.
Which topics should you use in your answers?
The project is designed so that each question connects to a specific topic from the course. Here is a quick overview of the skills you are expected to demonstrate:
- Past habits with "would": describe routines from previous experiences.
- Collocations: use natural word combinations that sound fluent and professional.
- Future with "be about to" and "be due to": express plans and scheduled events with precision [0:14].
- Split infinitives: recognize and fix them to produce cleaner sentences.
- False friends: identify words that look similar in your native language but carry different meanings in English [0:20].
Each of these areas strengthens your ability to communicate clearly in a professional context, which is exactly what a job application demands.
How should you prepare for the final exam?
Once you submit the final project, the next step is the final exam. Vicky reassures learners by saying it is going to be "a walk in the park" [1:02] — an idiomatic expression meaning something very easy to do. If you have practiced consistently throughout the course, you already have the tools to succeed.
After passing the exam, you receive your certification for the Upper-Intermediate B2 English course, Habits and Approximations [1:13]. This certificate validates your ability to handle complex grammar structures and vocabulary at an upper-intermediate level.
What makes this project useful beyond the course?
The scenario of applying for a job is not just an academic exercise. Answering interview-style questions using accurate grammar and strong collocations is a skill that transfers directly to real job applications. Practicing with "be about to" and "be due to" helps you talk about upcoming responsibilities, while mastering false friends prevents embarrassing misunderstandings in professional communication.
If you have made it this far, you are ready. Put your skills to work, complete the project, and get certified. Share your experience and let others know which topic challenged you the most.
