Celebrities Attend the Skin & Tan Brand Relaunch Event
Introduction
Several well-known media personalities attended a promotional event for the relaunch of the brand Skin & Tan in London on May 5.
Main Body
The event featured various television and reality stars. For example, Helen Flanagan, known for her role in 'Coronation Street' and her appearance on 'Celebrity Ex on the Beach,' attended wearing a black bodysuit and denim trousers. This appearance followed several Instagram posts where Flanagan shared photos of herself in a blue snakeskin outfit. Other famous guests included Christine McGuinness, who wore a pink corset and skirt, and Ashley James, who chose a mermaid-themed corset.

🚀 Leveling Up: From 'And' to 'Furthermore'
At the A2 level, we usually connect ideas using simple words like and, but, or so. To reach B2, you need to move away from these 'basic' bridges and start using Transition Markers. These make your writing sound professional, fluid, and organized.
🔍 Spotting the B2 Shifts
Look at how the text connects information about the celebrities. Instead of just listing names, it uses these specific tools:
- "Furthermore" Used to add more information to a point you already made. It is a fancy way of saying 'also' or 'and another thing.'
- "Regarding..." This is a 'topic shifter.' Instead of saying 'Now I will talk about their lives,' the writer uses 'Regarding their personal lives' to smoothly change the subject.
🛠️ The B2 Upgrade Table
| A2 (Basic) | B2 (Bridge) | Why it's better |
|---|---|---|
| And / Also | Furthermore / Moreover | It signals that you are building a strong argument. |
| About... | Regarding / With respect to | It sounds more formal and precise. |
| For example | Such as / For instance | It adds variety to your vocabulary so you don't repeat words. |
💡 Pro Tip for Fluency
If you want to sound B2, don't start every sentence with the subject (e.g., 'The guests were...'). Instead, start with a transition:
- "Regarding the fashion, the white outfits were matching."
This shift in structure is exactly what examiners look for when moving a student from a basic user to an independent user of English.
