💡 The 'Comparison' Trick

To reach A2, you need to show how two things are different. Look at the text:

  • India \rightarrow Vaccines (Medicine)
  • Singapore \rightarrow Special Mosquitoes (Nature/Science)

Simple Sentence Patterns to Copy:

  1. [Place A] uses [Thing X]. (Example: India uses vaccines.)

  2. [Place B] uses [Thing Y]. (Example: Singapore uses special mosquitoes.)

Why this helps: Instead of just saying "This is a vaccine," you are now comparing two different solutions. This makes your English sound more organized and advanced!
