💡 The 'Contrast' Trick

In the text, we see a pattern of Opposites. This is a great way to build A2 vocabulary by pairing words together.

The Pattern:

  • Easy \rightarrow Hard
  • Cheap \rightarrow Expensive

How to use it: When you describe things, don't just use one word. Use its opposite to be clearer.

Example from text: "Companies use cheap AI for easy jobs. They use expensive AI for hard jobs."


🛠️ Action Words (Verbs)

Notice how the text uses simple words to show a change or a goal. This is how you move from A1 to A2.

  1. Want to + [action] \rightarrow "They want to make smarter computers."
  2. Need to + [action] \rightarrow "Companies need more money."

Quick Tip: Use 'want' for a wish and 'need' for something necessary.
