🏆 The 'Better' Pattern

In the story, we see a change from bad to good.

  • The Start: Ryu started poorly.
  • The Change: She played better.

How to use this for A2: When you want to compare two things or show a change, add -er to short words.

Easy Examples:

  • Bad \rightarrow Better (Special case!)
  • Fast \rightarrow Faster
  • Big \rightarrow Bigger

From the text: "This was a very big gap" \rightarrow If the gap grew, it would be a bigger gap.


🛠️ Tool Words (Nouns)

Notice how the text describes things used to do a job:

  • Clubs \rightarrow used for golf.
  • Hall of Fame \rightarrow a place for the best players.

Tip: To reach A2, start grouping words by 'Topic' (Golf: club, hole, player, championship).
