💡 The 'Victory' Pattern

In this text, we see different ways to say 'won'. To reach A2, you need to know that these words all mean the same thing in sports:

Won $\rightarrow$ The South Bend Cubs won 25-6.
Beat $\rightarrow$ Tennessee beat Oklahoma 9-7.

Keep it simple:

Use WON for the game/prize: *"I won the game!"
Use BEAT for the opponent: *"I beat my friend!"

📍 Location Words

Notice how the writer describes where things happen. They use the word 'In' before a place:

In Florida
In Texas
In Green Bay

If you are talking about a city, state, or country, always put 'In' first.
