To reach A2, you must describe objects simply. Look at how the text uses is and has to give information:

  • Size/Feel: It is big →\rightarrow It is thin →\rightarrow It is light.
  • Price: It is expensive.

The Trick: Use It is + adjective to describe a thing.

  1. Lasts (time) →\rightarrow "It lasts a long time."
  2. Charges (power) →\rightarrow "It charges fast."
  3. Opens (movement) →\rightarrow "It opens like a book."

⚠ī¸ The 'But' Contrast

When one thing is good and another is bad, use but:

"The phone is safe from water, but not from dust."

Good →\rightarrow But →\rightarrow Bad
