Move from B2 to C1 level

Move from B2 to C1 level

Extending your vocabulary will not only allow you to sound more interesting but will also help you sound like dynamite.

For example, use “hasten” instead of accelerate.
 
Examples :
- “This new scandal will hasten the director’s departure.”
- “Credit Suisse crisis was hastened by risky investments.”
Advanced structure of the day : "to bear in mind"

Advanced structure of the day : "to bear in mind"

Worry not, not grizzly bears not involved in this one 😉
Some words in English have multiple uses. Bear is one of them.
You could say :
 
  •  â€œBe careful ! There’s a bear behind you.” (the animal)
  •  â€œI can’t bear Mondays.” (Je ne peux pas supporter les lundis)
Or 

  •  "Bear in mind that the apprentices have only been here for two weeks.”
  •  â€œBear in mind that inviting 10 more people to the party would simply double the costs.”
  •  â€œBear in mind that you’ve been sick lately. Don’t be so hard on yourself.”

“Bear in mind” means “take into account/don’t forget that
”
So yes, the pic used with this post is completely ridiculous but rather funny
 Don’t you think ?
