I want to teach you some useful upper-intermediate phrases to help you build your vocabulary. These phrases are at a B2 level, which is one of Cambridge's proficiency framework.
At this level, you should understand the main ideas in complex texts, interact spontaneously and without difficulty with English speakers, and be able to produce detailed texts on various topics.
I'll quiz you on how much you already know. Then I'll tell you the meaning of each phrase as well as talk about how they're used.

Please, make more videos on B2 and especially C1 and C2 level, because there are lots of lessons on lower levels but not as many on higher ones. It would be great to have more vocabulary and grammar lessons on advanced and proficiency level.
