💡 THE POWER OF "SAY"
In this story, we see how people share opinions. To move to A2, you need to report what others think. Look at these patterns:
- The police say It was an accident.
- The parents say Nolan was a good swimmer.
- Some people say This is about race.
Why this matters: Instead of just stating facts, you can use [Person] + say + [Idea] to tell a story or explain a conflict.
Quick Word Swap: If you want to sound more natural, you can swap "say" for these based on the text:
- Agree (Yes, this is true) "The parents do not agree."
- Want to know (Asking for a fact) "They want to know more."
Vocabulary Note: The "Fake" Problem
- Real Fake
- Real photos = True photos.
- Fake news = Not true information.
