At B2 level, learners are expected to use a variety of adjectives to express emotions and describe situations effectively. C1-C2 level users should be able to understand the nuance behind words like "frightful" and how they emphasize the intensity of the weather.

BUT THE FIRE IS SO DELIGHTFUL
➔ Use of adjective "delightful" modified by "so" for emphasis.
➔ The adverb "so" intensifies the adjective "delightful", highlighting how pleasant the fire is, especially in contrast to the frightful weather. B2 learners should be confident using adverbs to modify adjectives. C1-C2 learners can analyze the effect of this emphasis and the contrasting imagery.
-
AND SINCE WE'VE NO PLACE TO GO
➔ Use of "since" as a conjunction indicating reason.
➔ "Since" connects the reason (no place to go) to the consequence (let it snow). Understanding the use of "since" and other causal conjunctions is important at the B2 level. At C1-C2, learners should be able to choose from a wide range of causal conjunctions and understand the subtle nuances in their meanings.
-
IT DOESN'T SHOW SIGNS OF STOPPING
➔ Negative form of "show signs of" + gerund (-ing form) indicating continuation.
➔ The structure "doesn't show signs of stopping" indicates that something is not likely to end soon. B2 learners should understand how to form and use gerunds. At C1-C2, learners should be able to understand the implied meaning (the snow will continue) and use similar complex negative structures.
-
SO I BROUGHT SOME CORN FOR POPPIN'
➔ Use of "so" as a coordinating conjunction showing consequence/result.
➔ "So" connects the reason (snow isn't stopping) with the action taken (bringing corn for popping). B2 learners need to be fluent using coordinating conjunctions. C1-C2 users will understand the casual, conversational tone created by using 'so'.

➔ "When" indicates the timing of the action (kissing goodnight). Understanding and using time clauses is essential at B2 level. At the C1-C2 level, learners are expected to use a variety of complex sentences containing different types of clauses.
-
HOW I'LL HATE GOIN' OUT IN THE STORM

➔ "How I'll hate..." expresses a strong feeling of dislike. The contractions "I'll" and "Goin'" make the sentence more informal and conversational. B2 learners should be comfortable using contractions. C1-C2 learners understand how colloquialisms affect the tone and style of the writing.
