⚡️ The 'Action' Flow

📦 Word Groups: 'Jobs' and 'Places'

⚠️ The 'Opposite' Logic

To reach A2, you must show two different sides of a story. Look at the 'But' logic here (even if the word 'but' isn't used):

  1. Side A: They say she is racist.
  2. Side B: She says she is not.

Easy Tip: Use "They say..." and "She says..." to show a fight or a disagreement.
