What is this link, user? Are you trying to mock my grammar? If not, why else would you send me this?

I've got a C2 certificate from cambridge and got full marks in the vocabulary section and "use-of-english" section and I had to look up refectory and hapless just now.
"refectory" is a very specific word for a very specific context and I didn't even know the first translation for it in my native language (Refektorium)
"hapless" is just one of the billions of synonymous unnecessary adjectives for emotions, I wouldn't worry about that one either
I don't where in russia you are, but it should be late afternoon to evening there, right? and if those 3 words for all of today are the only ones you had to look up then isn't that really good? :)
but yes, reading longer texts(with a translator at the ready to look up unknown words) is a good way to expand your vocabulary

Read more classics. If your aim to have a broader english, the classics will help you a lot.

>"frugal" and "refectory"
These words are never used. Read Dickens or Lord of the rings. If you can manage those, then your English is ok
Gabriel Wood
it would mostly teach you antiquated words and phrases that no one uses anymore
bad advice
Liam Price
frugal is pretty common though, or isn't it?
Landon Russell
You have no idea what the classics are.
Jack Anderson
Fine, maybe frugal
