πŸ› οΈ The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe problems and results.

1. The Problem (The Conflict) Look at these words used for fighting:

  • Fight for β†’ Wanting something (money, land).
  • Broke the law β†’ Did something wrong.
  • Fought over β†’ Arguing about a thing.

2. The Solution (The Fix) How do we end the problem?

  • Find a solution β†’ Fix the problem.
  • Talk and agree β†’ Stop fighting.
  • Said no β†’ The court stops the action.

πŸ’‘ Simple Rule: To describe a situation at A2 level, follow this path: Person β†’ Action (Fight/Break) β†’ Result (Agree/Stop).

Example from text: Families (Person) β†’\rightarrow fight for money (Action) β†’\rightarrow courts want them to agree (Result).
