Vocabulary Learning
🌍 The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how the text describes things happening. To reach A2, you need to move from simple words to action sentences.
The Pattern: [Who] + [Does What] + [The Result]
- Companies spend less money on rules.
- Animals are in danger.
- Business leaders disagree about rules.
💡 Useful Word Switch
Instead of using basic words, try these 'A2' words found in the text:
- Instead of 'Bad' use Strict (when talking about rules).
- Instead of 'Safe' use Protect (when talking about nature).
- Instead of 'Money' use Business (when talking about the industry).
Quick Note: Notice how the text uses 'But' to change direction. Example: They want money BUT they want nature safe.
