Vocabulary Learning
💡 THE 'OPPOSITE' PATTERN
In the text, we see two groups of people. Some feel one way, and others feel the opposite. This is a great way to build A2 sentences.
The Pattern: Some people [Feel/Think] → Other people [Feel/Think]
Examples from the text:
- Some people like this plan. Other people think the plan is bad.
Try this at home:
- Some people like coffee. Other people like tea.
- Some people live in cities. Other people live in the country.
🕒 TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE
Look at how the text talks about things that will happen later. It uses one simple word: Will.
- They will wait...
- The government will wait...
The Rule: Just put will before the action word. It doesn't matter who is doing it (I, You, They, The Government)—the word will never changes!
- I will go.
- She will go.
- They will go.
