💡 The 'Before' vs 'Now' Logic

In this story, we see how things changed. To reach A2, you need to describe changes simply. Look at these patterns:

1. The Timeline

  • Before \rightarrow It checked one person. (Past action)
  • Now \rightarrow It collects a lot of data. (Current action)

2. Simple Opposite Words Notice how the text uses these pairs to show a problem:

  • Right (Correct) \leftrightarrow Wrong (Not correct)
  • Citizens (People who belong) \leftrightarrow Not citizens (People who don't belong)

3. Word Power: "Some" Instead of saying "every person" or "no person," the text uses some.

  • Some people could not vote.
  • Some U.S. citizens...

Quick Tip: Use "Some" when you don't have the exact number, but you know it is more than one.
