I have never had such q a good English teacher in real life hpp H yes I did have but they were nt natives and they are ar university level I ml ean a teacher f English
In light of dedicating a few words, had it not been for your teachings, I wouldn't have elevated my English to the next level. I thereby extol the virtues of both your industrious work and dedication towards the betterment of your students.
Collocations are an essential part of mastering English, and it's highly likely they make communication more natural. I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that learning them is crucial for fluency, though I can imagine some might vehemently disagree about their importance compared to grammar rules. Even if we respectfully disagree, we can still forge relationships with others through shared learning experiences. Collocations are inextricably linked to sounding fluent, and their elegance can render speechless those who hear them used effectively. Neglecting them could scupper plans for advanced language skills. While some critiques of collocations can feel like a scathing attack, I think many are blissfully unaware of how impactful they are. Videos like this can truly rekindle passion for learning and extol the virtues of collocations as a vital tool in any language learner’s journey!
Truly, truly, thank you very much for your videos. I prepared a month before for the Proficiency Examen because of lack of time, got 206 in Speaking, but in Listening and Reading, I just couldn't handle the structure of the exercises. I had practiced them, but was surprised I did not do so well.😢 I won't give up, I shall keep on practicing until I achieve my highest goal😊.
You are a great teacher, Ben. I learn with you almost everyday, my objective is CAE. Now I'm saving money for your course, and hope to start it till the end of this year. Can't wait. I do really appreciate that you don't use any marketing and selling techniques, any tiring ads. Your approach and knowledge are your best ads and there's no need to do anything more.
I was literally rendered speechless when I realised I had not subscribed to the @tothepointenglishwithben channel, since it had been one of my favourite channels for a while and still is.
*A huge thanks to Ben from me, an English learner! I'm wholeheartedly grateful to you bro! You're cool guy!* *As to the lesson, I've never heard some of these phrases before, they have really turned out to be absolutely new* *and unknown for me! Thanks Ben!

Lately l have been reading a book called "Atomic habits" this book is incredibly amazing and motivating and let me tell you more about this book in this book you can truly learn the art of mastering good habits it really rekindeld my love for books and once you finish reading it will render you speechless of how much knowledge you gained about incorporating habits and l always extol how fascinating it is. Thanks a ton for this dynamic and incredibly handy lesson. Keep it up. ☺️💖
I "wholeheartedly agree" with all of your follower comments that "extol the virtues" of your channel, since your lessons are "inextricably linked" with high-quality teachings, which always render me spechless. All of us should "forge relationships" in order to make your channel bigger and bigger, which, by the way, is "highly likely" to happen due to its great contents. I'll launch a "scarthing atack" to those who dare not praise your efforts, I'd preffer to be "blissfully unaware" of them, actually. Please Ben, don't "scupper my plan" of moving forward in my learning process and keep up with your outstanding work that "rekindle my passion" for English. (Ben, excuse me for all the mistakes I made in this comment. The only thing I was looking for was to practice these collocations, which has been quite a challenge!!! I'll be always grateful to you).
Ben, you are polite, respectful, down-to-earth, well-organized and hard-working. Thank you for your kindness and talent as a teacher!🎉😊❤( Example: I was rendered speechless when the president of my country sent our gold to the Bank of England.)
Thank you Sir. This collection is really top-shelf, and not for average English speakers like me. I had the satisfaction of approaching something higher, not texts and conversations of my level. It's a good motivation, by the by. I would like to reach this bar somehow and someday. "Petit à petit l'oiseau fait son nid".
I was blissfully unaware that there is such a captivating channel in utupe to brush up on my English. The video rekindle my passion for learning advance English
I passed cae exams in 2019. I love watching and studying from your videos, anyway. There were some here I did not know. Your videos are amazing to brush upon. I greatly appreciate your effort.
Hi Ben! Your excellent presentation on collocation rekindle my passion to learn a new dimension of languages not only English. You deserve a heartfelt appreciation from me. Carry on!
Thank you, Ben. I found this lesson riveting. I also wholehearted agree that this new vocabulary is inextricably linked to improving the knowledge of English in everyday communication to make it more sophisticated and it’s crucial in preparation for C1/C2 exams.
I always learn new words when listening to your vlogs. Mosttimes those words were passively already in my memory. But today I really heard new English words, like to extol or to scupper. I see, I am not yet on any C-level.
Though I wholeheartedly agree with other commenters on virtues of your lessons, speaking of myself, I'd say that your lessons, Ben, have rekindled my wish to learn the language.
@@tothepointenglishwithben. I'm particularly fond of your channel, and I booked my CAE exam for November 5, so it comes just in time. I'll enjoy for sure. Thanks for your riveting content!
Hi, would that be a bad idea for an episode on vocabulary for situations when we need to digress and then get back to the main topic ("revenons à nos moutons")?
Dear Ben, Thank you very much for your useful videos! I wholeheartedly agree with all the other positive comments. I just found a little mistake at 7:18.. I think "The have an essential connection" must be "They have an essential connection". Keep up the good work and see you soon! Greetings from Holland.
Subscribed ! Your teaching has been second to none. i look forward to watching more new educational videos from you. Thanks for imparting your knowledge of English to all English learners.
I remembered this by creating a little story. We can wholeheartedly agree or respectfully disagree, but we still want to forge relationship in which we’ll extol virtues that are extricably linked. Although many scathing attacks might render us speechless and scupper our plans, we’ll pretend like we’re blissfully unaware of them rekindling our love and passion. Maybe it’ll help someone as well.
My top go-to phrases: These dress-code amendments rendered me speechless. My professional advancement and rapid growth helped me to rekindle passion for teaching. Forging a relationship with this IT company required considerable effort and endeavour on my part.
I wholeheartidly with some people on the fact that we should avail ourselves of the historical events in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes that humanity made in the past.
Mother nature and humans are inextricably linked (inextricably intertwined with each other) to each other. It's of paramount importance that governments cooperate with each other to lay out a new plan to restore the environment because the health of humans depends upon a healthy environment
Hi Ben, first of all, thank you for your very well-done videos, they're really useful! I guess scathing attack is always used in the singular but is there any difference in using it with the indeterminate article "a" or without it? thanks in advance for your kind attention! Lucia
Can you create a summary with all words at the end of the video? So as that take a capture. Your videos are amazing and so helpful anyways! Btw blissfully unaware I knew it as blissfully ignorant😂 American maybe, a little rude
I'm sure many viewers will wholeheartedly agree with me that today's content rekindled our passion for advanced vocab. I'm rendered speechless by the video because knowledge is inextricably linked to the fun. Nothing will scupper my plans for watching some more. It's good that you want to forge a relationship with the subscribers by extolling the virtues of TTP. Reading comments I found no scathing attack on you but maybe I'm just blissfully unaware of that. Anyway, I would respectfully disagree with them ;) all the best for you Ben ;)
Wow, your videos are riveting! I'm wholeheartedly grateful for all your wonderful videos. BTW, I'm reading a book "catch-22" that you have recommended. It's a mesmerizing 🔥, the meaning is so profound
I always extol the virtues of my friend , because she never uses bad word for other person. 2) my neighbours forge a relationships with us. 3) tv is inextricably linked with remote. 4) I was render speechless on the occasion of her birthday party. 5) our plans has been scuppered by my uncle . so that we could not go outside. 6) she was blissfully unaware when we throw a party for him in restaurants. If I made any mistakes please let me know teacher.🙏🏿👍 6)
no since i studying time at unfound you're channal for regret ,which is best ,all thing consider. everything for a piece of cake making, thought.so many for i extol virtue you but had i regredly speech being for flowless teaching
Let me mention, these expressions mostly exist in other languages: I speak Hungarian so it is easy to understand these collocations. F.e. "scupper" in Hungarian in a mirror translation is: to sink a ship by hitting a hole into the side, so it will sink sooner or later. I think collocation is frequently used in newspapers for the sake of better understanding and to spare a lot of work for journalists. But the use of collocations can be applied in high literature when the writer's opinion is somehow sarcastic about the state of the world or people. Just think about Bertold Brecht.
Thanks for the video, teacher. I'd like to ask, how often do native speakers use the word "scupper"? It seems to me that words like "spoil" or "wreck" would be also fine and I hear them quite frequently. Thanks in advance
-to be oblivious to/of something means to be unaware of or not to be concerned about what is happening around oneself. -to be unaware of something cannot be used to mean "not to be concerned about something" -We use to be blissfully unaware of to mean not to be aware of something unpleasant/upsetting only. It is correct to say "he is unaware of the good/bad news", but we would only say "he is blissfully unaware of the bad news", never "he is blissfully unaware of the good news".
The human beings ought to extol the virtues of the little friends of ours surrounding us. Although it sometimes takes us to forge a friendship with cats, it always pays off with their great magnitude of thankfulness and kindness.

On its own, we hardly ever use "scupper". But as a collocation with "plans" it's quite common.
@@tothepointenglishwithben. Thank you for this lesson!
Is it possible to use the verb 'scupper' with 'chance'?
Yes, it is another collocation with "scupper". A little less common than with "plans", I would say.
I utterly agree with you
Such great lessons and examples, thank you so much! My plans for lying and doing nothing were scuppered by your amazing lesson hehe
😆
You can tell that the teacher is an Englishman because in the US, we use “scuttled” instead of “scuppered”. We love the Brits!!
Important information no doubt
A real pleasure!!!
It was a great 😃👍 video 📸, fantastic! 😍
Glad you liked it 🙂
Hi teacher! I've a question. Blissfully unaware is a synonyn of "oblivious to"? Thank you!
-to be oblivious to/of something means to be unaware of or not to be concerned about what is happening around oneself.
-to be unaware of something cannot be used to mean "not to be concerned about something"
-We use to be blissfully unaware of to mean not to be aware of something unpleasant/upsetting only. It is correct to say "he is unaware of the good/bad news", but we would only say "he is blissfully unaware of the bad news", never "he is blissfully unaware of the good news".
They can be synonymous in many contexts but, as Cyrus mentioned, "oblivious to" often has the connotation of being indifferent.
The human beings ought to extol the virtues of the little friends of ours surrounding us. Although it sometimes takes us to forge a friendship with cats, it always pays off with their great magnitude of thankfulness and kindness.
thanks a lot .

Hi I am quite new to this channel could you explain me about your courses are they full of exercises for exam preparation? I am struggling with my English after few months of unemployment. I am looking for step by step process that in final would take me to Cambridge exam but my goal is to speak well and learn more and better version of English
In the C1 Advanced preparation course, I share all of my tips on approach and strategy for every part of the exam as well as looking at example tasks for each part.
