People – B2–C1 – 002

Part two of the topic's B2-C1 series (43 words) covers deeper, often figurative people-vocabulary: professions (carpenter, psychiatrist, tailor, midwife, anthropologist), story roles (protagonist, heroine, screenwriter), and character types (eccentric, hypocrite, realist, fanatic, elitist). You'll also pick up informal metaphors like fossil (someone stuck in their ways) or sap (a gullible person) that show up constantly in spoken English. This set trains you to catch the shades of meaning behind the literal word, in reading and on screen.
