Bilingual possession

A significant reserve brings a person closer to the apogee of knowledge of a foreign language - bilingualism. In other words, with the vocabulary that you managed to accumulate, you can think in English no worse than in your native Russian.

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!

Advanced nouns

Why make a mistake sound OK, but make a cup of cacao doesn't? After all, both there and there the verb means "to do."

Connoisseurs know what is 100% compatible and what is not. If you are still “floating” in this matter and making mistakes, then the Oxford Online Collocation Dictionary must have for you - an assistant in matters of lexical compatibility.

There is nothing to be ashamed of using special tools, because they are designed for authors who want to reflect the context as accurately as possible, and language learners in such publications can peep a “live” example of use.

A modern tool for a quick and accurate compatibility check is the Just the word website. He will become a faithful assistant for compiling ideal stories and essays.

For those who want to communicate with native speakers on an equal footing and without embarrassment, we advise you to visit the excellent Reddit / IAmA resource, in which invited celebrities answer random questions from users - often the answers are emotional and eloquent. In general, the language is nowhere more alive.

Collection "Scientific research"

One of the requirements for C1 is the ability to answer diverse questions of any complexity, so it is useful to familiarize yourself with a selection about scientific research. Suddenly you will be asked about what methods you used when writing your thesis.

We advise you to choose any socially sensitive topic and go through the points to identify what is difficult. If you feel gaps, then read the mega-popular Reddit - here you can find posts on all possible topics from parenthood to ridiculous situations. Here is a small list of threads that are particularly hot:

  • relationships,
  • Am I the Asshole?
  • Confessions,
  • Just No Mother-in-Law
  • Tales From Tech Support,
  • I Don't Work Here Lady,
  • Stories of Spine-Tingling Encounters,
  • Technology,
  • Gaming.

As you can see, the Americans are concerned about the same problems that we are.

List "Personality and social behavior"

More and more often, themes of personality and social behavior are intertwined with issues such as the climate crisis, coronavirus shocks, equality and unity. Of course, these areas are drawn to a whole dissertation, our list will not be enough. Therefore, we have selected for you 5 handbooks by Bill Gates, who is actively dealing with problems on a planetary scale.

In his latest interview, he shared a 2021 summer compilation in which scientists and researchers are trying to fix the conflict between man and nature. We are sure that the vocabulary from these works will be relevant for many years to come:

  • Lights Out: Pride, Delusion, and the Fall of General Electric by Thomas Gryta, Ted Mann is a book about top level and what mistakes modern corporations should not make.
  • Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future by Elizabeth Kolbert is the most honest story on the theme of "man against nature", affecting genetic engineering and many other topical issues.
  • A Promised Land by Barack Obama - Barack Obama's memoirs about the difficulties of the presidency, decision-making responsibility and moral isolation.
  • The Overstory by Richard Powers is an original forest protection novel that touches to the core.
  • An Elegant Defense: The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System: A Tale in Four Live s by Matt Richtel is an excellent work written by the author before the pandemic, which describes the immune system and the rules of immune management with incredible accuracy, which can be useful in our days.

Words on the topic "The Earth: climate, humanity, and our future"

Many students face three global problems in the process of forming a vocabulary:

  • It gets incredibly boring.
  • Reading the dictionary in 99% is impossible beyond one page.
  • There are very few sources with difficult words.

With the direction "Earth: climate, humanity and the future" the same problems arise. A small number of people write complex texts, and watching Discovery can not always be exciting. We found 4 worthy sources of really difficult words oki on a given topic:

  • vox.com is a nuclear mix about climate, people, events and the latest world news.
  • mashable.com - technology, culture, science, news, civilization in news format.
  • mentalfloss.com - unprecedented facts about humanity.

Having reached Advanced, you can become an English teacher and transfer your knowledge to children, students or adults. A special buzz is that you can try it without even leaving your home - online teaching is at its peak of popularity. Tutoring is a great activity that provides several benefits at once:

  • career.

So learning English is essential. Whatever it is, it will definitely come in handy.

  • Walk along the seashore in the morning (it seems to us that the park and the square are also suitable) all alone, admire nature and think about what makes you happy. We recommend taking with you a story that you have long wanted to master or an interview with an interesting person, or even a blank notebook for your thoughts in English. Good mood contributes to success.
  • Read as many as you can! Because reading inspires us to dream and adventure.
  • Avoid feeling empty and negative. Look for friends and situations that fill you up.
  • Keep a diary and write down all your emotions and feelings. Even if you feel sadness and fear, don't worry, this happens too, but if you share your experiences with a diary, it will become easier.
  • Don't be shy about anything. Dance, sing, anywhere: even in the field, even on the dance floor, even in a room all alone.
  • Meet at least one sunrise and feel gratitude.
  • Go in for sports. Only necessarily under the video of American coaches or under the British tracks in the headphones.
  • Talk about your crush as openly and honestly as possible. If they don’t understand you, it doesn’t matter, but if they reciprocate, then this can be the beginning of a wonderful friendship. Perhaps this is the very sign that you should find yourself an English-speaking friend and make friends?
  • Reread your abstracts. Compare what you are learning with what is happening in your life.
  • Be as happy as the sunshine and restless as the sea. Go to the old flea market and look for an old book of fairy tales about Uncle Remus.
  • Do not quarrel, be polite and kind.
  • Watch good movies with deep dialogue. way, here is our selection of cool films in the original.
  • Don't give up on the path to your dreams. Summer is magic, during which you can sincerely dream about how your life will turn out. And if you also write it down on paper, then these are no longer just dreams, but real plans.
  • Be good and believe in yourself and that your level will definitely become C1 or even C2.
