Vocabulary Learning
🌡️ The Power of "More"
In this text, we see a pattern used to compare things. Instead of complex grammar, we use More + Adjective.
How it works: When something is 'extra' or 'higher' than normal, add more before the word.
- Dangerous More dangerous (Very bad)
- Easily More easily (Happens faster/quicker)
💧 Giving Advice: The "Do / Do Not" Rule
To tell someone how to stay safe, the text uses direct commands. This is the simplest way to give instructions in English.
