Vocabulary Learning
💡 THE 'CAUSE & EFFECT' PATTERN
In this text, we see a simple way to explain why something happens. For A2 learners, using "makes" is the easiest way to connect an action to a feeling.
The Pattern:
Something → makes → someone → feeling/action
Examples from the text:
- The World Cup → makes → people → feel happy.
- Drinking alcohol → makes → the heart → beat faster.
Why this is useful: Instead of using hard words like "consequently" or "therefore," you can use makes to explain everything in daily life.
Try these simple swaps:
- Wrong: The rain is the reason I am sad. Better: The rain makes me sad.
- Wrong: Coffee is why I am awake. Better: Coffee makes me awake.
