Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Who does what' Pattern
In this text, we see a simple way to describe people and their roles. At A2, you need to connect a Person to an Action or a Place.
1. The 'Job' Connection
- Judith Whelan leader
- Women students
- Mentors helpers
2. Where they work (The 'At' Rule) When we talk about a company or a school, we use at. Look at these examples from the story:
- Worked at the ABC
- Study at the University
3. Simple Action Words (Verbs) Notice how the text uses easy words to show progress. Try to use these in your own speaking:
- Get better jobs
- Give advice
- Run a program
Quick Tip: To sound more like an A2 speaker, don't just say 'She is a leader.' Say 'She is a leader at the ABC.' (Person + Role + Place).
