Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how the text describes things happening now or in the future. We use will to talk about a plan or a change.
- They will not build...
- Workers will go...
How to use it:
Person/Group + will + Action I will save money.
📦 Word Pairs (Opposites)
To reach A2, you need to describe differences. The article uses these pairs:
- Old New
- Save Spend
Example: "The government will fix old buildings instead of making new ones."
🛠 Simple Grouping
Notice how the text lists things. This is a great way to build sentences:
- Hospitals
- Cheap houses
- Sports centers
Instead of one long sentence, use "and" to connect these basic nouns.
