Hi
If you 're here, I probably told you you needed to improve your vocabulary and general level of expression.
Here are a few things I would recommend to move into the B2 or C1 level of the CEFR. The aim is to gain authenticity, by using the exact terms that native speakers would use for a given situation. It's not just about not making mistakes.
The press:
• UK: (remember what I keep telling you about the specific angle and reputation of these papers)
- the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/
- the Times: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/
- the Daily Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/
• US:
New York Times : http://www.nytimes.com/
Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/
• On paper:
- Specific to learning English as a foreign speaker: http://www.ofup.com/langues/vocable-anglais/p374.htm
- Or cheap subscriptions for lycéens/students:
http://www.ofup.com/langues/newsweek/om34/206.htm
http://www.ofup.com/langues/the-economist/om34/278.htm
http://www.ofup.com/langues/time/om34/280.htm
- General interest:
NME : probably the most famous music magazine
Vanity Fair: an american women's magazine

Good luck
