I’ll be sitting a CAE exam this Friday and I’d enjoy learning some vocabulary I can use when doing it.

Some idiomatic expressions, collocations or just some fancy adjectives or adverbs that you think could be useful. Something that if the examiner saw would make them say wow.

There is an speaking part where it’s mostly informal language that I’m going to use and a more formal writing part.

Thanks for your help.

I used it! I needed to write a proposal for an open day in my company with suggestions for advertising and ideas to recruit the best graduates.

After putting forward my points, I said something among the lines of “It behoves us to make the company successful”

Pretty happy with how the writing went, can’t say so of the speaking - it was really hard!
