Vocabulary Learning
🌡️ The 'Getting' Pattern
In the text, we see: "The ocean water... is getting very warm."
When something is changing right now, we use get + adjective. It is simpler than saying "becoming."
How to use it:
- It is getting hot. → (The temperature is rising)
- I am getting tired. → (I feel more tired now than before)
- The weather is getting bad. → (The weather is changing for the worse)
🌍 Opposite Worlds
Look at how the text describes the weather. It uses opposites to show different problems:
- Rain/Floods Hot/Dry
If you want to reach A2, stop using "very" for everything. Use these specific pairs to describe your world.
🕒 Time Limits
Notice the words by and until:
- "Strong by late 2026" It will happen no later than this date.
- "Prepare... until 2027" The action continues up to this point.
