⚡ The 'Opposite' Switch

In this text, we see how to describe a result using a simple scale. To move to A2, you need to show the difference between good and bad outcomes.

The High Side (Positive)

  • Well \rightarrow "He always played well."
  • Best \rightarrow "Akie Iwai... played the best."
  • Straight \rightarrow "Rory hit the ball very straight."

The Low Side (Negative)

  • Poorly \rightarrow "She also played poorly."
  • Bad \rightarrow "He played bad shots."
  • Low \rightarrow "Finished low in the rankings."

💡 Quick Logic: When talking about a skill (like golf, cooking, or English), use 'well' for the action and 'best' for the winner. If the result is not good, use 'poorly' or 'bad'.
