  "title": "Train discourse functions, not only correct sentences",
  "summary": "C1 lives partly between the sentences.",
  "kind": "checklist",
  "body": "Practise the language that organizes interaction and extended discourse: entering a turn, qualifying a claim, contrasting options, returning to the main point, giving an example, correcting yourself, signalling uncertainty and closing. Build several natural options for each high-value function and use them inside longer tasks. The target is controlled choice, not a memorized parade of connectors.",
  "limits": [
    "More connectors do not automatically create coherent discourse. Each signal must express a real relationship in the message."

    {
      "claim": "CEFR descriptors distinguish C1 from B2 through broader linguistic range, higher grammatical control, more effortless fluency, a larger repertoire of discourse functions and more controlled coherence.",

      "role": "supports",
      "note": "CEFR describes performance; it does not prescribe a training method or a fixed number of study hours.",
      "locator": "B2 and C1 rows"

  ],
  "use_when": [
    "Individual sentences are mostly correct but long answers still sound jumpy, flat or difficult to follow."
  ],
  "avoid_when": [
    "More connectors do not automatically create coherent discourse. Each signal must express a real relationship in the message."
  ],
  "example": "Instead of adding 'moreover' to every paragraph, a learner practises several ways to qualify a recommendation and return from a technical detail to the decision.",
  "check": "A long response remains easy to follow even when the topic changes or a clarification interrupts it.",
  "checklist": [
    "Open or take the floor naturally.",
    "Signal the main point and structure.",
    "Add contrast, cause or qualification where needed.",
    "Repair or reformulate without losing the thread.",
    "Close or hand over the turn clearly."
