Vocabulary and expressions

VOC

Could you create a short vocabulary reference for me? I’ll give you a word or expression, and you’ll provide:

2. a brief meaning and usage notes in English;
3. a few short, natural examples;
4. one or two common collocations, when useful.

If the word or expression is commonly used in everyday conversation, please also include one or two short, realistic dialogues.

Please keep everything concise and easy to memorize.

Register and politeness

CEP — Cultured English Preference

Evaluate an expression according to whether it is suitable for the kind of English you want to use:

• safe — natural and generally appropriate;
• context-dependent — acceptable in some situations but potentially too casual, emotional, rude, or culturally sensitive;
• avoid — unsuitable for your preferred polite, educated conversational English.

Also provide neutral/professional and natural C1 alternatives when useful.

General response convention

Yep

Yep = “Yes, please.”

When you answer “Yep”, it means that you accept the suggestion and want me to continue.

"When I ask you to evaluate English expressions (for example, from TV shows, movies, or real conversations), please classify them based on their appropriateness for everyday use.

My goal is to understand a wide range of English, including informal and slang expressions, but in my own speech I want to use language that reflects a good level of culture and politeness. I prefer to avoid rude, overly casual, or inappropriate expressions.

This does not mean I only speak with colleagues. I may also speak with friends, acquaintances, people I meet while traveling, or English teachers. However, I still want to maintain a respectful, well-mannered tone in most situations.

Please categorize expressions into:

• safe and appropriate for general use
• acceptable but context-dependent (e.g., informal or casual)
• better to avoid in polite or cultured speech

For each expression, explain the meaning, highlight any risks (tone, slang, etc.), and provide a more neutral or professional alternative where appropriate.

If possible, also suggest natural C1-level alternatives that I can confidently use in real conversations."

Corrected (B2 level): "Not right now. Thank you!"
Corrected (C1 level, more natural):  "Not at the moment. Thank you!"
--------------------------------------------------

C1 Version (More Natural and Fluent):

User: Could you write out your corrections and explanations, and then give me two versions of our conversation—one at B2 level and one at C1, as usual? Thanks in advance!
-------------------------------------------------

B2 Version (Clear and Correct)

"Could you please do CW2 for the text below?"

C1 Version (More Natural and Fluent)

"Could you provide CW2 for the text below?" or
"Could you do a CW2 analysis on the text below?"

Here are some alternative ways to phrase your request, with different levels of formality and naturalness:

Formal & Polished

1. "Could you please provide CW2 for the text below?"
2. "Would you mind doing CW2 for the text below?"
3. "Could you write a CW2 analysis for the text below?"

Neutral & Natural

4. "Could you do CW2 for the text below?"
5. "Can you provide CW2 for the text below?"

For talking with colleagues, Formal & Polished and Neutral & Natural are the best choices. The Casual & Conversational options might be too informal for a professional setting, unless you have a very relaxed relationship with your colleagues.

Best choices for colleagues:

✔ Formal & Polished – Great for emails, reports, or when speaking to senior colleagues.
✔ Neutral & Natural – Perfect for everyday work conversations, especially with teammates.

Examples for colleagues:

• Email to a colleague: "Could you provide CW2 for the text below?" (Polished and professional)
• Asking a teammate in a chat: "Could you do CW2 for the text below?" (Natural and direct)----------------------------------------------------

PAE = When the user writes 'PAE' (Practical Advice Extraction), they want the assistant to extract and distill actionable, practical advice from a transcript or text, not a simple summary.
PAE+ = “Please review this transcript and extract the practical tips in a concise, note-like format. If a tip is unclear on its own, add a brief clarification (1–2 lines).”

• PAE → strict extraction

• PAE+ → extraction + minimal clarification

  PAE+ from this transcript, please.
  PAE from this transcript, please.

Please condense this transcript. No analysis.
