💡 THE 'OPPOSITE' PATTERN

In the story, the writer shows two different ideas using a simple trick. This is how you talk about opinions in A2 English.

The Pattern: Some people [Like/Think X] \rightarrow Other people [Don't like/Think Y]

Examples from the text:

  • Some people like his acting \rightarrow Other people do not like it.
  • Some people think Disney wants money \rightarrow Other people think it is a good story.

Why this helps you: Instead of saying "I think...", you can describe a group of people. It makes your English sound more natural and balanced.

Quick Tip: Use "Some" first, then "Other" to show a contrast.
