Vocabulary Learning
The "Action Path"
Look at how we describe a life change. We use simple action words (verbs) in a row to tell a story.
Pattern: Action → Action → Result
- Left the army → moved to California → felt sad.
- Went to India → traveled to nine countries → started a business.
Word Swap: Work Life
Instead of just saying "job," look at these variations from the text:
- Full-time job (Working all day/week)
- Work for himself (Being your own boss)
- Online business (Working on the internet)
Helpful Connectors
