Can learning a language affect how we age? In this lesson for B2+ English learners, we explore an article about the cognitive and health benefits of language learning — including its possible impact on biological age.

As I read through the text, I'll highlight 10 advanced vocabulary items and explain how they’re used in context. You’ll then test your understanding with a guided quiz and finish with a question to help you actively use the new language.

This lesson helps you:
• Build advanced vocabulary naturally through reading
• Understand abstract ideas and research-based topics
• Strengthen comprehension and retention
• Practice expressing opinions with higher-level language
An additional practice task is linked in the pinned comment for learners who want to go further.
