Level: C2 (Advanced)
Topic: Three Lessons Learned – Personal Growth and Reflection
Text Type: Article

This C2 Writing worksheet helps students craft a reflective and engaging article — a key genre in advanced writing exams and real-world communication. It challenges learners to balance personal voice with linguistic sophistication, using structures and vocabulary that demonstrate precision, cohesion, and fluency at the highest proficiency level.

Key Learning Outcomes

Students will:

• Learn to structure a C2-level reflective article with a natural flow, logical development, and a clear sense of purpose.

• Use advanced grammar structures and stylistic devices to convey experience and insight (inversions, complex conditionals, metaphors, and participle clauses).

• Integrate idiomatic and nuanced vocabulary for emotional intelligence and personal reflection (invest time and effort, equipped to handle stress, bring us joy, handle adversity, stay motivated and engaged).

• Demonstrate cohesion and unity through high-level connectors (Whether…, In the face of…, As we move forward…).

• Strengthen tone awareness — balancing warmth, introspection, and maturity, typical of a C2 magazine-style article.
