πŸ•’ The 'Future' Shortcut

In the text, we see a very simple way to talk about the future: Will.

How it works: Subject + will + action β†’\rightarrow Something happens later.

Examples from the story:

  • "Jerome Powell will stay..."
  • "He will lead a big meeting..."

πŸ’‘ Simple Word Swaps

To move from A1 to A2, you can replace basic words with 'stronger' words found in the article:

  • Instead of 'think different', use β†’\rightarrow disagree
  • Instead of 'pick', use β†’\rightarrow choose
  • Instead of 'expensive' (for the whole country), use β†’\rightarrow inflation

✍️ Sentence Pattern: The 'People' Count

Notice how the text describes a vote:

"54 people said yes and 45 people said no."

Pattern: Number β†’\rightarrow People β†’\rightarrow Action

Use this to describe any group:

  • 10 students said yes.
  • 2 teachers said no.
