People and personality: English by topic
You need to describe people at every level; only the precision of the words changes. At A1 it is family: mother, grandfather, cousin, husband. At A2, appearance: tall, slim, curly, beard. At B1, feelings and personality: anxious, embarrassed, reliable, selfish. At C1, the psychology of behaviour: confirmation bias, to procrastinate, resilience, peer pressure. At C2, rare and precise adjectives: garrulous, taciturn, fastidious, magnanimous. This topic shows clearly how vocabulary grows from level to level: start with yours and take a look at the next. The A1 and A2 words let you talk about yourself and the people close to you, while the C1 and C2 words help with articles, books and exact descriptions of character.
