Let's look at how we describe 'Who does what'

In this text, we see a pattern: Someone \rightarrow Action \rightarrow Something.

  • Newspapers \rightarrow use \rightarrow polls
  • Banks \rightarrow pay for \rightarrow polls
  • People \rightarrow pick \rightarrow winners

Why this helps you reach A2: To speak basic English, you don't need long sentences. You just need this simple chain.

Quick Vocabulary Shift: Instead of saying "select," the text uses pick. Instead of saying "assist," the text uses help.
