This poster series was designed to help secondary school students prepare for speaking exams such as the Czech Maturita. Rather than focusing only on grammar rules, the posters show students how to use English to survive real exam situations.

The series covers key areas that students often struggle with: choosing the correct tense, extending answers, giving opinions, speculating, using linking words, adding information with relative clauses, discussing hypothetical situations, and describing facts using passive voice.

Each poster includes practical examples, exam-style language, sentence starters, upgrade examples (A2 → B1 → B2), and memorable visual cues to help students build confidence and improve fluency. The posters can be displayed individually or as a complete classroom wall display.

Suitable for A2–B2 learners, secondary school students, Maturita preparation, speaking exams, conversation classes, and general English classrooms.

Each sentence is crafted to ensure there is only one correct answer, making it easier for students to learn and apply the adverbs accurately.
