Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Opposite' Trick
To move from A1 to A2, you need to describe things by comparing them. Look at how the text uses positive and negative words to give an opinion:
- Good → Not great
- Better → (Implies it was worse before)
How to use this: Instead of just saying "The music is good," try adding a contrast to sound more natural:
The bands were good, but the singer was not great.
🧱 Building Sentences with 'Because'
Beginners use short sentences. A2 students connect ideas.
Pattern: [Result] + because of + [Reason]
- The ground stayed dry because of new pipes.
Quick Tip: Use "because of" when you want to point to a thing (pipes, rain, money) rather than a full action.
