CAE Essays - Exam Mistakes

Help

Instead of saying "he or she" when you want to refer to non-specific person, you can say.........

They. E.g. "A doctor has to complete five years of training. They also need to....."

"Really" is formal enough for essays - true or false?

False - really is VERY informal.

"Thus, big cities allow youth to course, for instance, film or dance studies." What's the mistake? Can you suggest a correction?

We don't have a verb "to course". "To pursue" would be the best substitute here.
