🚩 The 'Danger' Scale

Look at how the text describes different levels of safety. This is a great way to learn adjectives (words that describe things) and their opposites.

The Pattern:

  • Level 1 → Safe
  • Level 4 → Dangerous

How to use this in real life: If something is safe, you feel good. If something is dangerous, you must be careful.


🛠️ Making Simple Sentences

Notice how the text connects a place to a feeling:

"Haiti is Level 4 because it is very dangerous."

The Magic Word: Because Use because to give a reason.

  • I stay home because it is raining.
  • I check the level because I want to be safe.

Quick Tip: Use "Very" to make a word stronger.

  • Dangerous \rightarrow Very dangerous (More scary!)
  • Strict \rightarrow Very strict (More serious!)
