Attributes and qualities – B2–C1 – 002
This 35-word B2–C1 set builds your vocabulary of abstract English nouns for describing people's character, the qualities of objects, and the nature of situations – from tenderness and benevolence to firmness and exactness. These words let you move beyond simple good and bad: you can capture the tone of a text, characterize someone in conversation, or phrase praise and criticism with more nuance. This second part of the series continues the theme with concepts like cheerfulness, diversity, and unusualness – common words in English character sketches, opinion writing, and everyday conversation.
