⚡ THE 'OPPOSITE' PATTERN

Look at how we describe the two games. One team wins, then the other team wins. To reach A2, you need to show contrast.

The Pattern: [Fact A] →\rightarrow [But/Also] →\rightarrow [Fact B]

  • Example 1: "Boston won 8-1 →\rightarrow But Baltimore won 8-2."
  • Example 2: "He plays well in some roles →\rightarrow But not as a starter."

🛠️ USEFUL WORD SWAPS

Instead of saying "Good" or "Bad," use these from the text to sound more natural:

  • Good →\rightarrow Great / Very well
  • Bad →\rightarrow A problem

Quick Tip: Use "Very well" for actions (He played very well) and "Great" for a general feeling (Trevor Rogers played great).
