⚡ The 'People' Pattern

Look at how we describe groups of people in the text. To move toward A2, you need to connect a Group to a Behavior.

The Formula: Group + ActionResult/Description

Examples from the text:

  • Fans \rightarrow shout mean things.
  • Fans \rightarrow act like people on the internet.
  • Fans \rightarrow throw drinks.

🛠️ Word Swap: 'Mean' vs 'Kind'

In English, we use these opposites to describe how people treat others:

🔴 Mean (Bad/Cruel) \rightarrow "Fans shouted mean things." 🟢 Kind (Good/Nice) \rightarrow "They are not kind to others."

💡 Quick Tip: The word 'Some'

Notice the word "Some" (Some fans, Some people).

We use this when we don't mean everyone.

  • All fans = 100%
  • Some fans = 30% or 50% (Not all of them)

Key Vocabulary to remember:

  • Behavior \rightarrow how a person acts.
  • Argue \rightarrow to disagree with someone.
