Advanced English Expressions for News That Shine in Conversation
Conversing using news terms is the highest level of advanced conversation in that language.
Because the news conveys its message using the most refined, yet relatable, expressions.
When talking with native speakers about world affairs and your own situation, try using the expressions in "Decisive In-Depth Expressions for News English."
These are very refined expressions, so when used in conversation they give off an intellectual and sophisticated feeling.
For those who want to use advanced English in real-life situations, I highly recommend News English Advanced Expressions.
