This is not an exhaustive list, but it provides a good starting point for identifying vocabulary and phrases that are suitable for B1 and A2 learners. Remember that context is always crucial for understanding meaning.

Please provide the text you want me to analyze. I need the transcript or a section of it to identify phrases and words suitable for B2, C1, and C2 learners. I will then select words and phrases that reflect the more nuanced vocabulary and complex sentence structures characteristic of those levels. I will also consider the use of idioms, phrasal verbs, and more sophisticated grammatical constructions.

The provided text is a transcript, seemingly from a children's horror show. While there's colloquial language, the overall vocabulary and sentence structure are not complex enough to necessitate a B2, C1, or C2 level analysis. The phrases are generally simple and direct.

To give you a demonstration of what a B2/C1/C2 analysis would look like, I need a more sophisticated text sample. However, I can offer some examples of how some phrases could be elevated to higher levels, if the surrounding context warranted it:

Example Elevations:

• Original: "That freaks me out."

  • B2: "That really unsettles me."
  • C1: "That's profoundly disturbing."
  • C2: "The sheer unnerving nature of that is almost overwhelming."

• Original: "She's had trouble making friends."

  • B2: "She's struggled to forge meaningful friendships."
  • C1: "She's experienced significant difficulties in establishing social connections."
  • C2: "Her attempts at socialization have been consistently thwarted, leading to a pronounced sense of isolation."

• Original: "It's just hard for me to see her unhappy."

  • B2: "It pains me to see her so unhappy."
  • C1: "Her unhappiness is a source of considerable distress to me."
  • C2: "The palpable weight of her unhappiness is almost unbearable, a constant source of disquiet."

These examples show that B2, C1, and C2 levels require more precise vocabulary and more complex sentence structures. The higher the level, the more subtle and nuanced the language becomes. To perform a meaningful analysis at those levels, please provide a different text sample.

Even in a longer section of this transcript, finding consistently B2/C1 level phrasing would be difficult. The language used is primarily simple and geared towards a younger audience. However, I can point out a few phrases that hint at a slightly more sophisticated level, but they are still within the grasp of a strong B1 learner and don't consistently show a B2/C1 command of the language. The overall context is crucial for determining the level.

Phrases that approach B2/C1, but remain accessible to high B1:

• "Her unhappiness is a source of considerable distress to me." (From the earlier example, this could be inferred from the phrase "It's just hard for me to see her unhappy.") This shows a more advanced vocabulary choice but is still understandable at a B1 level.

• "She's experienced significant difficulties in establishing social connections." (Again, from an earlier example, this could be interpreted from "She's had trouble making friends.") This uses more formal and precise language, slightly elevating it from a straightforward description.

• "Our own family has been falling apart." While grammatically simple, the idiom "falling apart" suggests a more mature understanding of language beyond a basic level.

• "The palpable weight of her unhappiness is almost unbearable, a constant source of disquiet." (Again, from earlier example, this describes emotions in a much more complex and literary way and would only be confidently used by advanced learners).

It's important to note that these phrases are not consistently present throughout the transcript. The majority of the language is straightforward and uses simple sentence structures suitable for a much lower level than B2/C1. To provide a proper B2/C1 analysis, a different text sample is required.

This section of the transcript still uses relatively simple language. There are few instances that reach a B2 or C1 level. However, I can point out a few examples where the phrasing suggests a slightly more advanced level than a basic B1. Keep in mind that context is essential. A more sophisticated text would provide more substantial examples.

Phrases Approaching B2/C1 Level (but still accessible to strong B1):

• "What was that thing? A monster? Maybe something... a condor?" The use of multiple questions and speculative possibilities shows slightly more complex thought processes than simple statements.

• "Daddy's desk is private." While grammatically simple, the implication of authority and boundaries hints at a more mature understanding of social dynamics.

• "Ensure the enforcement of regular possession schedules of the children." This is a formal and somewhat bureaucratic phrase, implying a higher register of language. The word "enforcement" adds a layer of seriousness that is absent in simpler equivalents.

• "It's just hard for me to see her unhappy." The use of "It's just..." understates the speaker's true emotional state. While simple, the understatement conveys more than a simple statement.

• "This house is a big part of them [the parents' dreams]." The use of "a big part of" rather than simply "important" is more nuanced.

• "Something's been painted over." The implication of a deliberate action (painting over something) shows a subtle layer of complexity.

• "This whole day bites." This idiom suggests a stronger emotional response than a simple "I'm unhappy."

• "She's had it in for me ever since..." The idiom implies a sustained negative feeling rather than just a momentary dislike.

Why it's difficult to find true B2/C1:

The style remains informal and conversational, with simple sentence structures. The vocabulary, while occasionally descriptive, does not consistently showcase the more complex and precise word choices expected at B2 and C1 levels. To demonstrate a confident B2/C1 level, the text would need more complex sentence structures, more sophisticated vocabulary, and the use of idiomatic expressions in a way that demonstrates a native-like understanding.

Here are some example phrases categorized by CEFR level (A2, B1, B2) for daily usage. Remember that context is key, and a phrase's level can shift depending on the situation.

A2 Level (Beginner):

• Expressing frustration or annoyance: I can't stand..., I'm sick of..., It's driving me crazy, I'm absolutely furious...

This is just a small sample, and many more phrases could be included in each category. The best way to determine the appropriate level is to consider the complexity of the grammar and vocabulary used, as well as the overall context in which the phrases are used.

You are right to call me out on that! My apologies. I focused on phrases in my previous response, neglecting to include individual words. I was too focused on the requested phrase structures.

Here's a revised response including both phrases and individual words, categorized by CEFR level:

A2 Level (Beginner):

• Phrases: Hello, Goodbye, See you later, I need..., I want..., Please help me, Thank you, Excuse me, Sorry, It's..., I like..., I don't like...

• Words: suggestion, opinion, believe, rather, agree, disagree, right, wrong, point, understand, sure, perhaps, maybe, time, interesting, boring, enjoyed

B2 Level (Upper-Intermediate):

• Phrases: To my mind..., From my perspective..., I would argue that..., It seems to me that..., I have reservations about..., If I were you, I would..., It would be better if..., Supposing that..., Provided that..., Although..., Despite the fact that..., However..., Nevertheless..., On the one hand... on the other hand..., It's a long story, It's a pain in the neck, Let's get this over with, I'm fed up with..., I can't stand..., I'm sick of..., It's driving me crazy, I'm absolutely furious...
• Words: perspective, argue, reservations, hypothetical, supposing, provided, although, despite, nevertheless, however, idiom, fed up, furious, distress, significant, considerable, meaningful, palpable, unbearable, disquiet, consistently, pronounced, thwarted, leading, weight

This improved response now includes both phrases and individual words, providing a more comprehensive picture of vocabulary appropriate for each level. Remember that context is crucial for accurate level assessment.

Okay, here are some B1, B2, and A2 level phrases and words organized into different contexts, with example sentences showing their usage.

Context 1: Making Plans

• A2: Let's go to the cinema. What time is it? See you later.
• B1: I think we should book tickets in advance. How about we grab a bite to eat before the movie? Perhaps we could meet at 7 pm? I'd rather see the action movie than the comedy.
• B2: From my perspective, booking tickets online would be more efficient. Provided that we leave by 6:30, we should have plenty of time. However, if we're going to eat beforehand, we should factor in at least an hour. I'd argue that the independent film would be a more intellectually stimulating choice, though I understand your preference for action movies.

Context 2: Describing Feelings

• A2: I'm happy. I'm sad. I'm tired. It's good. It's bad.
• B1: I feel a little nervous about the exam. I was really excited about the trip. I'm a bit disappointed that it rained all day. I'm feeling pretty good today.

Context 3: Shopping

• B2: I'm searching for a garment that complements my existing wardrobe. Do you happen to stock this item in a larger size? I'm having reservations about the price but, I must admit it is very stylish. Despite its high cost, the superior quality justifies the expenditure.

Context 4: Apologizing & Giving Reasons

• A2: Sorry. I'm late. I didn't do it.
• B1: I apologize for being late; the traffic was terrible. I'm sorry I broke your pen; I didn't mean to. I'm really sorry. I didn't realize I hurt your feelings.
• B2: Please accept my sincerest apologies for my tardiness; unforeseen circumstances delayed my arrival. I deeply regret the damage to your property; it was entirely unintentional. I feel terrible about this; my actions were thoughtless, and I offer my unreserved apologies.

These examples show how the same basic concepts can be expressed with increasing complexity and sophistication as the language learner progresses through the CEFR levels. Remember this is not exhaustive, and many other words and phrases could be used in these contexts.
