Vocabulary Learning
The 'Who' and 'What' Logic
In A2 English, we describe events by putting the Person/Group first, then the Action. Look at how the text builds simple facts:
- China (Who) sent (Action) planes (What)
- Taiwan's army (Who) watched (Action) them (What)
Time Words for Organizing
To move from A1 to A2, you must connect your ideas using time markers. This text uses "On + Day" to separate events:
30 planes 8 planes
Pro Tip: Always put "On" before a day of the week (On Monday, On Tuesday).
Describing Feelings & Status
Instead of complex words, the text uses simple adjectives to describe a situation:
- Ready: Prepared to act.
- Worried: Feeling nervous about the future.
- Dangerous: Likely to cause harm.
- Tense: A feeling of pressure or stress.
