Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Action-Result' Pattern
Look at how the text talks about things changing. To reach A2, you need to move from simple words to action pairs.
The Logic:
Action (What happened) Result (Why/What now)
Examples from the text:
- Removed Not many people watch it.
- Added New events for young people.
🛠️ Word Power: 'The Switch'
Beginners use 'good' or 'bad'. A2 students use Change Words. Notice these opposites in the story:
| ➖ Take Away | ➕ Put In |
|---|---|
| Removed | Added |
| Sad (Loss) | Like (Gain) |
💡 Grammar Secret: The 'Since' Bridge
"This sport was in the Games since 1924."
When you see Since + [Year/Date], it is a bridge from the past to now.
How to use it simply:
- I live here since 2010.
- The sport is here since 1924.
