How to practice C1 use of english
Refine complex sentence structure, emphasis, reference and cohesion. Check that qualifications and contrasts attach to the intended idea, and choose simpler structures when they communicate more clearly. Explore register, stance, collocation and near-synonyms. Notice how a word signals caution, criticism or approval, and avoid treating a dictionary synonym as interchangeable in every context.
