Welcome back to JForrest

English, of course.

I'm Jennifer.

Now let's get started.

First, let's review the most common C1 verbs.

Now, I'm going to start this with a quiz  to see how well you know this vocabulary.

So you'll complete a quiz, you'll learn the  vocabulary, and then you'll complete the  

quiz again so you can see how much you've  improved from the beginning to the end.

So you'll complete a lot of quizzes  throughout this whole lesson.

So let's start your first quiz.

Advocates for Question 2.

The architect will the design concept during  the presentation elaborate on question three.

The company plans to a new recycling  program to implement Question Four.

Question 5.

Healthy fats and proteins, A  balanced diet, constitute Question 6.

The new furniture.

The paint color compliments question nine.

She used expressive body  language to her excitement  

about the trip convey and finally, question 10.

Right now, the team in the  conference room is assembling.

So how'd you do with the quiz?

Now remember, it doesn't matter what  your score is, because now you're  

going to learn all the concepts in detail,  and then you'll complete the quiz again.

And I promise your score will be  a lot higher this second time.

So let me explain each of these verbs  in detail right now to advocate.

Advocate.

This means that you support, recommend  or speak in favor of something.

For sentence structure,  you advocate for something,  

you need that preposition for,  and then you have your something,  

a noun or a gerund verb, because you  have the preposition for as an example.

Environmentalists advocate for stricter  regulations to protect endangered species.

If the environmentalists advocate for these  stricter regulations, it means they want them,  

they recommend them, they support  them, and they speak in favor of them.

And notice that preposition for.

Environmentalists advocate  for stricter regulations.

To elaborate, elaborate.

This is when you add more detail or information to  a statement or explanation for sentence structure,  

you elaborate on something and that something  is your idea, your statement, your explanation.

So notice that preposition here.

We need on advocate for elaborate on for example?

The professor asked Mark to elaborate on his  research findings during the presentation.

So Mark is presenting, he's  sharing information about  

his research findings, but the professor said.

Can you elaborate on this?

So Mark needs to provide more information,  

more details, and by doing so he's  elaborating on his research findings.

To implement implement this is  when you put something into a  

fact or action or you apply or  carry out a plan or decision.

For example, the company plans to implement  a new marketing strategy to increase sales.

So they're going to implement  this marketing strategy.

They're going to put it into effect.

Once it's in effect, it means it is active,  

it is doing what you wanted it to do,  and notice here you implement something.

So we don't need an additional preposition  between our verb and our noun or clause.

Implement the marketing plan.

Implement the strategy,  implement the recommendations.

To emerge, emerge.

This is when something comes into  existence or becomes visible or apparent.

For example, as the sun set,  the city skyline emerged.

In all its splendor, the city skyline emerged.

It became visible or apparent.

Apparent is another way of saying visible.

If something is apparent, it means you can see it.

A problem can also emerge, which means that  problem is visible or apparent To constitute,  

constitute this means to be part of a  whole or to form or make up something.

For example, these five sections  constitute the Annual Report.

So these five sections make up the Annual report.

They form the Annual Report.

They're a part of the Annual Report.

So the sections are the individual parts  and the whole is the annual report.

And these five sections constitute makeup or  form the annual report to commence, commence.

This simply means to begin or start something.

Remember that all of these  verbs are advanced C1 verbs.

They are more advanced ways of saying  simple things like start, commence.

But also remember that to be considered  fluent and advanced in English,  

you need to know these alternative ways  and advanced grammatical structures.

So commence is the advanced way  of saying to start or begin.

For example, the conference will commence with a  keynote speech by A renowned expert in the field.

Of course you can simply say start, but to sound  more advanced you can say commence to encompass,  

encompass this means to include or  contain, or to cover or surround entirely.

For example, the project scope encompasses a  

wide range of topics related  to sustainable development.

If it encompasses a wide range of topics  related to sustainable development,  

it means that it includes or contains  these topics and the project scope.

The scope of a project is what a  project will include or cover O.

If it is within the scope the project will do it.

If an item is outside of the scope,  well then the project will not do it.

You might need to commence start  a new project that encompasses  

that other item that contains that  other item to compliment compliment.

This means to enhance or complete something by  adding an additional item that harmonizes with it.

In plain English, it means that you add  something that goes well with it that matches it.

For example, the red shoes  complemented her black dress perfectly.

She has her black dress well.

What color harmonizes with black?

What color goes well with black?

Red, red and black complement each other.

So she chose red shoes to complement  her black dress to convey convey.

This means to communicate or  express a message or information.

For example, the artist used muted colors to  convey a sense of tranquility in the painting.

The artist used these colors  to convey a certain emotion,  

to communicate that emotion,  to express that emotion.

Muted colors are very soft colors,  tranquility, that is a feeling of calm.

So when you look at this  painting, the feeling is conveyed.

The feeling is communicated or expressed.

To assemble, assemble, this means to gather  or to put together parts to create a whole.

For example, tomorrow let's assemble in the  conference room to discuss the proposal.

In this sense, it means to gather.

So when individuals assemble, first they're  individuals, but then the whole is the team.

So you have the individual members, but then when  they assemble, they combine to form the team.

And it can also mean to gather.

When people gather, they are individuals  and they come together as a whole.

Tomorrow, let's assemble in the  conference room to discuss the proposal.

Now that you're more comfortable with these  advanced verbs, let's do that quiz again.

Here are the questions.

Hit, pause.

Take as much time as you need, and when  you're ready to see the answers, hit play.

So how did you do with that quiz?

Let's find out.

Here are the answers.

Hit, pause.

Take as much time as you need to review  these answers and when you're done, hit play.

Amazing job.

Now share your scores from the quizzes and  let's move on and start with C1 Adverbs.

Question one, it's almost winter,  so the cold weather is approaching.

Now I'm only going to give you 3  seconds, which is not a lot of time.

So hit pause, take as much time as you need,  and when you're ready, hit play inevitably.

Question Two She disagreed  with the new policy vehemently.

Question 3.

Despite the small error, the customer  complained about the mistake inordinately.

Question 4 The presentation was informative,  but some sections felt detailed superfluously.

Question Five.

He forgave his friend for the mistake  and even offered to help fix it.

Magnanimously.

Question 6 The rain fell throughout the night,  making it difficult to sleep incessantly.

Question 7 The Carpenter  swung his hammer precariously.

Question eight, He was angry about being  fired, but now he can start his art career.

Ostensibly Question 9, the family agreed to  spend their vacation in Morocco unanimously.

And finally, Question 10.

The old clock chimed every  hour without fail, perpetually.

So how did you do with that quiz?

Don't worry if you did terribly,  you got zero out of 10/5 out of 10.

That's OK because now I'm going to  explain each adverb in detail incessantly.

Incessantly.

This means without interruption or continuously.

For example, the alarm kept ringing  incessantly until she finally woke up.

Of course I could say the alarm kept  ringing until she finally woke up.

Adverbs are not required in a sentence.

But when I say incessantly, you  have this picture in your mind  

of this action happening non-stop, continuously.

So all of a sudden it sounds a lot more  annoying or frustrating than without the adverb.

The alarm kept ringing incessantly  until she finally woke up.

Inevitably, inevitably, that's fun to say.

Inevitably, this means certain to happen.

So let's take an example with population growth.

I could say with the increasing population,  traffic jams are inevitably becoming more common.

Again.

I could simply say traffic  jams are becoming more common.

But when I add inevitably, it emphasizes that.

And you know that this is  definitely going to happen.

This is certain to happen.

And of course a traffic jam is when you are unable  to move because there are cars all around you.

A traffic jam, something that we  inevitably deal with inordinately,  

inordinately, this means excessively or unusually.

For example, he was inordinately  excited about his art exhibition.

Of course you expect someone  to be excited about their art  

expedition or any source of event or presentation.

But if you say he was inordinately  excited all of a sudden, I don't  

think this is a good thing because it  means there is too much excitement.

The amount of excitement is not  appropriate to the situation.

So this is how adverbs are  so valuable because they can  

really change the overall meaning of a sentence.

He was inordinately excited about  his upcoming art exhibition,  

and maybe you were inordinately upset  about making a mistake In English.

It's normal to make mistakes,  

but the amount of upset that you became  was too much given the situation.

Magnanimously, Magnanimously.

That's a long word.

Magnanimously.

This means in a generous and for giving way.

For example, my old boss was magnanimously  

friendly after he found out  I started my own company.

So I was working for this  company, but then I quit,  

I left and I started my own company that's going  to compete directly with the existing company.

So you would expect that  my boss, my previous boss,  

my old boss, would be upset, but he was friendly.

So I can say magnanimously friendly to show  that he was friendly in a forgiving way.

He wanted to show that he wasn't upset because  I left and started my own company, ostensibly.

Ostensibly, this means appearing as one  thing when it is really something else.

For example, he was ostensibly happy,  

so I know that he's appearing happy,  but there's really something else.

So in reality he isn't happy.

I know that because I said ostensibly happy.

He was ostensibly happy about the news,  but deep down he was really worried.

So he appeared happy.

But in reality, he's worried deep down.

That represents the feelings on the inside  that we generally don't show to the public.

Perpetually, perpetually.

This means constantly or continuously  over a long period of time, for example.

She's perpetually late.

This is not a good thing.

Because if you said she's late, well,  

that simply means she's late right  now in this specific situation.

But if I add the adverb perpetually, I  know it means constantly, which is all  

the time it's a reoccurring action, or  continuously over a long period of time.

She's perpetually late.

Not a good thing.

Precariously, precariously.

This means dangerously or in an unstable way.

For example, the hiker walked precariously along  

the edge of the Cliff, so  there's an edge of a Cliff.

That's already a dangerous situation,  

but if he's walking precariously, it  means he's walking in an unstable way.

So he's walking like this or a dangerous way.

He's extremely close to the edge of the Cliff.

Superfluously.

This is also fun to say superfluously.

This means in an unnecessary or excessive manner,  so too much, too much beyond what is needed.

For example, the report was superfluously long,  

so reports can be long, but if you say it was  superfluously long, it means unnecessarily long.

They made one section of the report 10 pages,  when it could have easily been one page.

So hopefully you don't think that  this video is superfluously long,  

excessively long, too long,  then needed, wanted or desired.

Unanimously.

Unanimously.

This means with complete  agreement of all parties involved.

So everyone agrees with the same thing.

They all agree yes, or they all agree no,  or they all agree some other decision.

For example, the board members  unanimously approved the annual report.

This means that every board  member said yes, I approve.

They unanimously approved vehemently.

Vehemently.

This means in a strong and emotional way.

For example, she vehemently opposed  the idea of relocating to a new city.

When you relocate, it means you permanently move  from where you live now to a different location.

So she opposed this idea.

She didn't want to relocate.

But if I say she vehemently opposed,  you know it was with strong emotion.

She feels very strongly that she  doesn't want to move to relocate.

She vehemently opposed relocating to a new city.

Now that you're more comfortable with  these adverbs, let's do the same test  

again and I promise you'll  do a lot better this time.

Here are the questions.

Hit, pause.

Take as much time as you need, and when  you're ready to see the answers, hit play.

Here are the answers.

Hit pause, review them, and when  you're ready to move on, hit play.

You're doing awesome.

Share your score from those  quizzes and let's review C1 nouns.

Question one, she's a good detective.

We can trust her.

Now, I'm only going to give  you 3 seconds to answer,  

so hit pause if you need more time  and then hit play when you're ready.

Her inferences.

Question two Have you always had  towards languages and inclination?

Question 3.

Choosing between studying abroad or staying  home close to family is a a dilemma.

Question 4.

Learning a new language is a worthwhile endeavor.

Question 5 The word freedom has  positive for most people connotations.

Question 6, lockdowns during COVID  created a lot of controversy.

Question Seven There was a big in  the election results disparity.

Question 8.

J for his English lessons act as a  in my language learning a catalyst.

Question nine, she gets her  friendly from her mother.

Disposition.

Question 10 Your is your best quality resilience.

So was that quiz difficult for you?

It probably was, but don't worry  because you haven't learned these yet.

So now I'm going to teach  you each C1 noun in detail.

And then you'll do that quiz again  and I promise your score will improve.

Disparity.

Disparity.

This is a noticeable difference  or inequality between things,  

often in terms of quantity, quality, or status.

For example, there is a significant disparity  

in income levels between the  rich and poor in this city.

Remember grammatically that  we're talking about nouns.

So pay attention to if the  noun requires an article,  

or if not, because it's either  an exception or it's uncountable.

In this case, we have a disparity.

We need an article.

There is a modifier, a significant disparity.

The article is conjugated with the modifier.

So if you need a or an, it depends on  what directly comes after the article.

A significant disparity.

Resilience.

Resilience.

This is a concept and it's when you can recover  quickly from challenges or difficulties.

For example, the community's  resilience was evident in how  

quickly they rebuilt after  the devastating earthquake.

So there was this devastating  earthquake that destroyed the homes.

But the city's resilience, their ability to  recover quickly from challenges or difficulties,  

allowed them to rebuild the home and notice  that the resilience, it belongs to the city.

The city's resilience.

Dilemma.

Dilemma.

That's fun to say.

Dilemma.

This is a difficult situation or  problem where a choice must be  

made between two options, but  they're equally undesirable.

So both of the options aren't very  good, but you have to make a decision.

That's a dilemma.

And notice that article a dilemma.

For example, she faced A dilemma  between taking a high paying job  

she didn't enjoy or pursuing her passion  for art, but with an uncertain income.

So she can take the high paying  job, but she doesn't like it.

Or she can pursue art, but there's no money.

So that's a dilemma, because both of  those options have undesirable qualities.

Endeavor.

Endeavor.

This is a serious or determined  effort to achieve something,  

especially something challenging or worthwhile.

For example, the team made every endeavor  to complete the project ahead of schedule.

Notice here, because it's a  noun, we sometimes require  

other grammatical structures to make it complete.

And here you make an endeavor.

Otherwise, we could actually  use endeavor as a verb.

The team endeavored to complete the project.

But this lesson is teaching you nouns.

And in this case, endeavor is also a noun.

But you make an endeavor.

In this example, it's made every endeavor.

So we have our verb make in the past Simple.

And because every implies there was more  than one, we don't have an article made.

Every endeavor but endeavor is a  noun that doesn't take a plural form.

So the noun is plural, but  we don't add an S to it.

Inclination.

Inclination.

This is a natural tendency or  preference towards something.

His inclination towards music led him to  pursue a career as a professional musician.

So he has a natural tendency towards music.

Or simply he has a preference and because of that  preference, he's pursuing a career as a musician.

His inclination and notice the  inclination belongs to him.

His inclination towards music.

Catalyst, catalyst.

A catalyst is something that speeds up  

a significant change or that  causes a significant change.

For example, the new technology served  

as a catalyst for the company's rapid  expansion into international markets.

So in this case, the catalyst is the  new technology and the new technology  

allowed the company to speed up a  significant change, which in this  

case is expanding into international markets  or it simply caused that significant change.

So either they were in the process of doing  this, or they started it as a new project.

But the new technology was the catalyst.

It speeded up or it caused it.

Disposition.

Disposition.

This is a person's inherent  qualities of mind and character.

Or you can think of it as  one's temperament or nature.

For example, her cheerful disposition made her  a joy to be around even in difficult situations.

So here her disposition, disposition is the noun,  

and it simply represents her  character, her personality.

And then we have an adjective,  her cheerful disposition,  

And in that case it sounds  like a positive disposition.

But somebody could have a negative disposition.

His angry disposition made him  a negative person to be around.

To completely change the example  to the opposite connotation.

Connotation.

This is the emotional or cultural associations  that a word has beyond is literal meaning.

So let's take the word home literally.

A home is where you live.

That's the literal meaning.

So what other connotations  are there with the word home?

We could say the word home has positive  connotations of warmth and security.

So that's the emotional characteristics  that the word has beyond is literal meaning.

That's the connotation controversy, controversy.

I'm sure you know this one.

This is a prolonged public dispute or debate,  

often involving opposing  views or conflicting opinions.

For example, the new government policy  sparked A controversy among citizens  

and politicians alike sparked a controversy.

Here the word spark simply means created.

The controversy only exists  because of this new policy.

And remember, the controversy is that there  are opposing views, conflicting ideas.

So there's going to be some sort of debate.

Then is going to be a prolonged debate, a longer  than usual debate, because it's a controversy.

Inference.

Inference.

This is a conclusion reached based on evidence  and reasoning rather than direct observation.

So I could look at something  and reach a conclusion.

That's direct observation, but maybe I don't  have the advantage of looking at something,  

so I have to use evidence and  reasoning to reach that conclusion.

That's inference.

This is something that detectives do,  because detectives don't always get to  

simply look at something to directly observe  it, for example, from the clues provided.

So the clues, That's the  reasoning and the evidence.

From the clues provided, the detective made a  crucial inference about the suspect's location.

So the detective reached a conclusion  about the suspect's location,  

not based on observation, because if you  could observe where a suspect is, well,  

then you would know exactly where that person is.

But the detective didn't know.

He had to use inference,  the clues to determine that.

Now that you're more comfortable with  this vocabulary, let's do the quiz again.

Here are the questions.

Hit, pause.

Take as much time as you need, and when  you're ready to see the answers, hit play.

Here are the answers.

Hit, pause.

Take as much time as you  need to review the answers,  

and when you're ready to continue, hit play.

Amazing job, share your scores, and  let's review our final section on C1.

Adjectives Question one.

Sarah's taste in music meant her  favorite genre changed every week.

Now I'm only going to give you 3 seconds  to answer, which is not a long time.

So hit pause.

Take as much time as you need,  and when you're ready, hit play.

Sarah's Fickle taste in Music Question 2.

The smell of freshly baked bread filled.

The bakery.

Pervasive.

Question Three.

The conference featured  scientists from around the world.

Eminent Question 4.

The young boy's nature led  him to ask endless questions.

Inquisitive Question 5.

Chachi PT Is becoming in the workplace.

Ubiquitous Question six From the top of the  mountain They admire the expanse of the valley.

Vast Question 7.

The novel's ending left a impact on the reader.

A profound impact.

Question eight she had an love of painting.

Intrinsic Question 9.

Safety is in the construction industry paramount.

And finally, question 10.

The fear of the dark seems to be  in many young children inherent.

So how'd you do with that quiz?

Was it easy?

Difficult.

Don't worry if it was difficult, because now  I'm going to explain each adjective in detail.

Let's do that now.

Ubiquitous, ubiquitous.

This means present, found,  or appearing everywhere.

For example, smartphones are ubiquitous devices.

They're found everywhere.

They're found in every home, every office.

So we can say smartphones are ubiquitous  devices in every home and office.

Paramount Paramount When something is paramount,  it means it's more important than anything else.

In emergency situations, the safety of the  passengers is paramount to the airline crew.

So you know the safety of the passengers  is important to the airline crew.

But by including the adjective paramount, you  know it's more important than anything else.

So the safety of the the passengers is more  important than protecting the actual airplane.

The safety of the passengers is paramount.

Vast, vast.

This means a very great extent or quantity.

So when I hear vast, I know that the extent.

Is very great.

For example, the Sahara desert  is a vast expanse of sand dunes.

So of course I know there  are sand dunes in the desert.

I know there are many sand  dunes, but when I hear vast,  

the image I have in my mind  all of a sudden changes.

And I see sand dune after sand dune after sand  dune because it's vast, profound, profound.

This means having deep insight or understanding.

For example, the professors lecture on quantum  mechanics was profound by using this adjective.

I understand that the person saying this  learned a lot of very deep insights or  

now has a very deep understanding of the topic  because it was profound, pervasive, pervasive.

This means spreading widely  throughout a group or an area.

Remember we talked about how  smartphones are ubiquitous?

They appear everywhere.

Well, as a result, we can say that social media is  

a pervasive part of modern society  because smartphones are ubiquitous  

and social media like the J Force English  YouTube channel is now everywhere as well.

So it's pervasive.

It is spread widely and  spread quickly within society.

Inherent.

Inherent.

This means existing in something as a  permanent or inseparable quality or element.

For example, cats have an inherent ability  to land on their feet when they fall.

Have you heard that before that when a  cat falls, it always lands on its feet?

Well, this is an inherent quality.

It's permanent within the cat.

It's not separable from the cat.

The cat didn't learn how to do this.

It's just an inherent quality,  inquisitive, inquisitive.

This means showing a strong  curiosity or willingness to learn.

For example, my daughter was very  inquisitive when we were at the museum.

Generally, someone displays being  inquisitive by asking a lot of questions.

So if you're at the museum with a young child or  even an adult, and they ask a lot of questions  

about what they're seeing, they could also be  inquisitive by wanting to read all of the signs  

and the posters and the information about the  objects that they're looking at at the museum.

In my opinion, being inquisitive is a very  beneficial quality when you're learning,  

especially when you're learning a language.

I love when my students ask  questions when they're inquisitive,  

because it shows they're  really trying to understand.

And when you ask questions  and you get those answers,  

you're able to form those connections  in your brain and learn faster as well.

So hopefully you are inquisitive when  it comes to the English language.

Fickle.

Fickle.

That's fun to say.

Fickle.

This means changing frequently, especially  in one's loyalties, interests, or affections.

For example, the fashion industry  is known for its fickle trends.

Trends in the fashion industry  change very quickly, very frequently.

One day it could be very fashionable  to wear a sweater like this, and then  

next week they say that is the ugliest  sweater ever and you shouldn't wear it.

So they're very fickle about what's  trendy and what's not trendy.

The fashion industry could also be fickle  about which designers they promote and support.

Maybe one day this person is the  designer that everyone's talking about,  

but then next week nobody's talking about that  person, and there's a totally new designer.

So the fashion industry and many other  industries is very fickle, intrinsic, intrinsic.

This means belonging naturally and  therefore it's an essential part.

For example, an intrinsic motivation to succeed  drives some athletes to push their limits.

So they're not motivated by winning a trophy  because that's an external motivation.

The trophy is outside of them.

They're motivated by something  within an intrinsic motivation.

And just like I said that, being inquisitive  is important when you're learning a language.

So is having an intrinsic motivation if you're  only motivated to study to pass the IELTS?

Well, that's an external motivation.

And although it's great to have that  motivation generally, it's not enough.

Generally, we also need an intrinsic motivation  

to really push ourselves and  succeed our full potential.

Eminent.

Eminent.

This means famous and respected  within a specific profession or field.

For example, she was awarded a prize for  her eminent contributions to the field,  

the field being the area of her profession.

So if she is a quantum mechanic,  then that is her field.

Quantum mechanics is her field.

If she is a physicist, then that is her field,  her area of study, interest or profession.

And here is that her eminent contributions.

So it's implying that her contributions are famous  

or respected within that particular field,  whether it be quantum mechanics or physics.

Now that you're more comfortable with these  adjectives, let's do the same quiz again.

Here are the questions.

Hit pause.

Take as much time as you need, and when  you're ready to see the answers, hit play.

Here are the answers.
