Vocabulary Learning
💡 The "Better/Worse" Scale
To reach A2, you need to describe things by comparing them. In this text, we see words that show a direction (Up ↑ or Down ↓).
The "Up" Words (Positive Change)
- Getting better → Improving
- More → A larger number (e.g., "More girls go to school")
- Fewer → A smaller number of people leaving
The "Down" Words (Negative Change)
- Worse → Not as good as others
- No → Zero (e.g., "no water," "no electricity")
Quick Rule: Using "But" to flip the story Look at how the text uses But to change from a good thing to a bad thing:
Good Thing BUT Bad Thing
Example: "Many schools have internet... but some schools... are still very small."
Try this logic in your head: I have a phone BUT it is old.
