Bulats language functions – presenting information<\/p>\n

Learn the use of presenting information and boost up your Linguaskill (Bulats) score<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Language Functions refer to the different situations where we use language. Often, the meaning of expressions we use is not easy to understand from the words of the sentence. For example, a person could say \u2018I see what you mean but \u2026\u2019 and the meaning of the sentence is \u2018I understand what you are saying but my opinion is different.\u2019<\/p>\n

In BULATS, your knowledge of Language Functions will be tested. You will see examples of Language Functions in the Reading texts and you will hear people use them in the Listening audios. They are also important in the Writing Test and the Speaking Test. If you can understand the different nuances of meaning, you will improve your score.<\/p>\n

This exercise will give you examples of typical expressions that are used to make a formal presentation along with some expressions to present yourself and your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
