B2 English vocabulary list: 12 upper-intermediate words
B212 語
The step from B1 to B2 is mostly a vocabulary step: the grammar is broadly in place, and what is missing is the precise word for an opinion, a trend or a consequence. These twelve are typical of that band and appear constantly in exams and in the news.
使う場面： Upper-intermediate exams, discussion and reading news.
