🕒 The 'Speed' Pattern

In this text, we see a fight between slow and fast. For A2 learners, the most useful thing here is how to describe things that take time.

1. Describing Speed

  • Too slow \rightarrow Not fast enough.
  • Work faster \rightarrow Do the job in less time.
  • Fast decision \rightarrow A choice made quickly.

2. The 'Time Limit' Phrase Look at the phrase: "in fifteen days."

When we use "in + [time]", it means the action will happen at the end of that period.

  • In ten minutes \rightarrow Wait 10 mins, then it happens.
  • In two weeks \rightarrow Wait 14 days, then it happens.

3. Simple Word Swaps If you want to sound more natural, try these pairs from the story:

  • Delete \rightarrow Remove
  • Decision \rightarrow Choice
  • Dangerous \rightarrow Not safe
