Vocabulary Learning
🚩 Changing the Subject
Look at how we talk about people in the text. Instead of saying the same name over and over, we use 'They'. This is a secret weapon for A2 English.
- Local leaders They (changed the rules)
- Young people They (organize parties)
- Couples They (want legal rights)
The Rule: Use They when you talk about more than one person. It makes your speaking sound natural and smooth.
⚖️ Contrasting Ideas
Notice the word 'But' is missing? The writer uses a different way to show two opposite sides. This is called Comparison.
Havering (No flags) Jerusalem (Big parade)
To move from A1 to A2, start using 'Also' to add more information to your story:
"Some people were violent. Also, some people protested the war."
Tip: Use Also at the start of a sentence to add a new fact.
