💡 The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see many sentences that start with a verb (an action word). This is the fastest way to give advice or instructions in English.

How it works: Action Word $\rightarrow$ Object/Detail

Examples from the text:

Keep $\rightarrow$ your home cool
Close $\rightarrow$ the blinds
Drink $\rightarrow$ a lot of water
Wear $\rightarrow$ a hat

Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of saying "I think you should drink water," you can simply say "Drink water." It is direct, clear, and correct.
