Vocabulary Learning
The 'Action' Pattern
In this text, we see a clear way to describe people's goals and results. For A2 learners, focusing on Want and Win/Lose is a great shortcut to speaking better.
1. Expressing a Goal
Use: Subject + want(s) + to + action.
- He wants to be faster.
- They want to win.
2. The Result Cycle Notice how the story moves between these opposites:
- Win (Success) Keep the job.
- Lose (Failure) Lose the job.
3. Simple Time Markers To move from A1 to A2, stop using just 'now'. Use these from the text:
- Before: Past events.
- Last year: Specific past time.
- Next season: Future plans.
- In January: Specific date.
