🕒 The 'Timeline' Trick

When we talk about a project, we use special words to show the order of events. Look at how the story moves from NowLater.

1. The Starting Sequence

  • First → The first action (Spending money/fixing buildings).
  • Next → The second action (Building a terminal).
  • Finally → The last action (Building the city).

2. Comparing Now vs. Future Notice how the numbers change. This is a great way to practice A2 descriptions:

  • Now: 3 million people (Small)
  • Future: 30 to 50 million people (Big)

3. Simple Action Words (Verbs) To reach A2, focus on these 'doing' words used in the text:

  • Make better → Improve
  • Fix → Repair
  • Build → Create
  • Spend → Pay money
