C1 involves skillful use of both formal and informal speech. In addition, you are able to properly manage intonation: ask questions with it, give the right emotional color to the sentence, and also understand the opponent’s intonational accents.

Advanced level C1 means that you accurately determine the attitude of the author, both during oral conversation and in correspondence and literary texts. Most students already understand subtle humor, as well as the feelings and emotions of the author.

During a conversation with a native speaker, a person claiming Advanced must also take care of the relevance of the conversation. Thus, you must know what to talk about in order to be interesting with you. To do this, you need to follow the topics that are on everyone's lips. If you visit the blog of the University of Cambridge, you will find such recent articles there:

  • Movement "Conservationists": their views, ideas and goals.
  • Global warming and the greening of Antarctica.
  • The disappearance of animals as a reason for the thoughtless consumption of goods.
  • The settlement of Mars: prospects and opportunities.
  • "Low-carbon diet", the refusal of air travel, the use of cars and "Child free" are the modern views of American youth.
  • Smart manufacturing and zero carbon emissions.
  • Climate change: dynamics, ways out of the crisis.
  • Cell research: getting rid of health problems at the stage of the embryo.
  • The consequences of the pandemic in nature and society.
  • Mental problems in adolescence and how to prevent them.
  • Women in science.
  • The problem of plastic waste.
  • Racial inequality: examples and ways to overcome.
  • Reusable things as a necessity of our time.

Here is a short list of topics that people are interested in talking about today. It is important not just to conduct a dialogue in the style: "fact-explanation", but to include the "my opinion" link. Then it will be a real wow effect!
