The big thing for CR and Writing I’d say is just to increase your daily reading. Read the newspaper, magazines, books - anything that interests you, and has more advanced vocabulary. Look up any words that you don’t understand (either right when you find them, or even jot them down on a piece of paper and look it up afterwards) Make sure you really understand the passages you are reading (rather than just looking at the words, if that makes sense)

This way, you say the vocab words in used in context, so they should be easier to remember (and hopefully it will be more interesting than memorizing lists and lists of words!) Also, you probably will pick up some grammatical or stylistic writing techniques from looking at other authors’ works.
