Vocabulary Learning

⚡ THE 'QUALITY' PATTERN

To reach A2, you need to describe people. Look at how the text says someone is "good."

1. The Simple Way

  • Very good →\rightarrow basic
  • Very strong →\rightarrow basic

2. The A2 Way (Better Words) Instead of just "good," use these words from the text:

  • Great (Example: She is a great leader)
  • Top (Example: A top athlete)

3. The Connection In English, we use "is/are" to link the person to the quality:

Person→is/are→Quality\text{Person} \rightarrow \text{is/are} \rightarrow \text{Quality}

  • Riley →\rightarrow is →\rightarrow strong.
  • Students →\rightarrow are →\rightarrow winners.

Quick Tip: Use "very" before a quality word to make it stronger.

  • Good →\rightarrow Very good.
