⚡ The 'Opposite' Battle
In this text, we see people fighting with words. To reach A2, you need to show contrast (two different ideas).
Look at these pairs from the story:
- Add Remove (The book adds history it removes words)
- Fair Not fair (The government says it's fair parties say it's not)
- Agree Angry (Some people agree others are angry)
💡 Simple A2 Rule: When you want to show a difference, use the word "But".
Example: "The book is new, but it removes old words." Example: "Some leaders are happy, but others are angry."
