Vocabulary Learning
🌍 The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how the text describes things happening. To reach A2, you need to move from simple labels to Subject + Verb + Object.
The Simple Flow:
- Ships (Who) move (Action) through the water (Where).
- Iran (Who) can sell (Action) its oil (What).
- The USA (Who) wants (Action) food (What).
🛠️ Word Swap: 'But' vs 'Also'
Beginners use one long sentence. A2 students use connectors to change direction.
-
The 'U-Turn' (But): Use this when the second idea is different from the first.
- They have an agreement BUT they do not trust each other.
-
The 'Plus Sign' (Also): Use this to add more information.
- There is a problem with power ALSO Israel is in Lebanon.
💡 Quick Tip: 'Can' and 'Do Not'
Notice these two common patterns for describing rules and feelings:
- Possibility:
Can+Action(Can sell, Can move) - Negative:
Do not+Action(Do not trust, Do not like)
