💡 The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how the story tells us what is happening. To reach A2, you need to move from simple lists to Connecting Ideas.
1. The 'Because' Bridge Instead of short sentences, we link a fact to a reason:
- Fact: People had protests Reason: They do not have jobs.
- Example: "People had protests because they do not have jobs."
2. Word Swaps for A2 Stop using 'bad' for everything. Use these from the text:
- Bad drugs Illegal/Dangerous drugs
- Bad feeling Hate
3. Simple Logic Flow
- Action: Nigeria wants money Result: South Africa said no.
- Action: People are angry Result: They are not friends.
Quick Tip: Use "Because of this" to start a new sentence when you want to explain why something happened. It makes you sound more natural!
