Introduction

Police are looking for criminals in two different cities.

Main Body

A man named Akash is a software engineer. Bad men took him to a bridge on Thursday. They stole his two phones and 600 rupees. Then they pushed him off the bridge. He broke his back. A man found him the next morning. Police are now looking at camera videos to find the bad men. In another city, a man named Rajesh tried to hurt a 16-year-old girl. This happened on Saturday in her house. Neighbors saw him and stopped him. They held him until the police arrived. Police arrested Rajesh. Now he is in jail. Police want to know if he did other bad things in the past.

Conclusion

Police are still working on both cases.

⏳ The 'Then' Chain

In the story, things happen one after another. To tell a story at an A2 level, we use the word Then to connect actions.

  • Action 1: They stole his phones.
  • Then β†’\rightarrow Action 2: They pushed him.

How to use it: Don't just say "and... and... and." Use Then to show the next step in time.

πŸ›‘ People Words

Look at how the text describes people. Instead of complex words, it uses simple labels:

  • A man named [Name] β†’\rightarrow Introducing someone.
  • Bad men β†’\rightarrow Describing a group by their action.
  • Neighbors β†’\rightarrow People who live near you.

πŸ—“οΈ Time Markers

  • Thursday
