WLES is gaining international momentum for its work with teaching English to medical professionals.

Two teachers from West London English School, a Premium Preparation provider for the Occupational English Test (OET), have been speaking at the 2021 OET All Stars You Are Prepared conference which thousands of OET candidates from around the world attend.

These uses of pop are British English – they don’t exist in American English. This led to a dispute during the trial of a British

Try walk number one:

The Brits (and Americans) love sarcasm. So, if you want to make friends with us, you’d better learn to recognise sarcasm because otherwise you’ll get pretty annoyed or maybe even quite hurt and offended. Honestly, we’re really nice people, we’ve just got a funny sense of humour!
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS SARCASM?

It’s saying the opposite to what you really mean. Why? Mainly it’s to be funny, we think it’s hilarious; but it could be used to be cutting and hurtful.
LET’S SEE SOME EXAMPLES

It’s Friday night and there’s a crowd in the pub. An obviously unattractive person walks in, and what’s
