📈 The 'More' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe growth using the word more. This is a key A2 skill for talking about money and quantity.

How it works: More + Noun (Something you can count or measure)

Examples from the story:

  • More money → (Extra cash)
  • More chips → (Extra parts)
  • More factories → (Extra buildings)

🕰️ Future Guessing

Look at how the text talks about things that haven't happened yet. We use will for predictions.

The Formula: Will + Action

Evidence:

  • Problem will continue → (It stays a problem)
  • Prices will go up → (Things become expensive)

💡 Key Word Swap

To move to A2, stop using 'big' for everything. Use these instead:

  • Growing fast → instead of 'getting big'
  • Important → instead of 'big deal'
