C1 Vocabulary Focus

What it is: High-level vocabulary for nuance, argument, and professional writing. What it’s for: Avoid repeating simple words and express precise meaning. Example: “This approach is viable; however, it may be counterproductive in the long run.”

Focus areas

  • Nuance pairs: effective vs efficient; risk vs issue
  • Academic/professional verbs: facilitate, mitigate, allocate, justify
  • Advanced collocations: draw a distinction, pose a challenge, reach a consensus
  • Tone control: neutral vs formal vs persuasive

Practice

  • Learn by “sentence mining”: take phrases from real articles.
  • Weekly: write 1 paragraph using 8–10 target phrases.
