Body actions and processes – B2–C1

This 25-word B2–C1 set covers a more sophisticated layer of body actions: yawning, snoring, sniffing, or shrugging. With these words you can capture someone's body language in a story with nuance, and understand more mature English texts about health, emotion, and physical reactions. The list also includes less common but C1-relevant verbs like infect, alleviate, or evacuate a building – words that show up often in both English news and novels.
