💡 The 'Who did what' Pattern
To reach A2, you need to describe events clearly. Look at how the story tells us about the police:
- Police arrested two men.
- Police are checking why...
The Secret: Subject (Person) Action (Verb) Object (Person/Thing)
Simple Examples from the text:
- Building hit other buildings.
- Winds blew metal sheets.
🛠️ Word Power: 'Bad' vs 'Not Safe'
Instead of saying everything is 'bad', use these A2-level words found in the article:
- Illegal (Against the law) The buildings were illegal.
- Not safe (Dangerous) It was not safe.
Quick Tip: Use "not safe" when you want to describe a place that might hurt you.
