⚡ The 'Big' vs 'Small' Pattern

In this story, we see a contrast. The police catch small sellers, but the court wants them to catch big bosses.

How to use this to sound more natural: When you describe people or things, use these simple opposites to show a difference in size or importance.

Small sellers $\rightarrow$ low level / not important
Big bosses $\rightarrow$ high level / very important

Words for Action (Simple Verbs): Notice how the text uses these verbs to explain a process:

Stop (to end something) $\rightarrow$ Stop the drugs.
Fix (to make something better) $\rightarrow$ Fix the problem.
Finish (to complete) $\rightarrow$ Finish cases faster.

Quick Tip: To move to A2, stop saying "do a problem." Always use "fix a problem."
