Vocabulary Learning
💡 Word Power: Talking about 'People'
In this text, we see different ways to name groups of people. For A2, you need to move from simple words to specific ones.
- Leaders → People who guide a group.
- Lawyers → People who help with the law.
- Families → The people you live with (parents, siblings).
🛠️ The 'Doing' Word: Simple Present
Look at how the text describes facts. We use a simple pattern:
Person/Group + Action Word
- The BYC says...
- The JSFM says...
- Leaders want...
Tip: When talking about one group (like BYC), we add an 's' to the action word (say → says).
🚫 Opposites: Fair vs. Unfair
One very important word in this story is Fair.
- Fair = Right / Honest
- Unfair = Not right / Dishonest
Example: "The trials are not fair" is the same as saying "The trials are unfair."
