⚡ The 'Causality' Leap

At the A2 level, you usually connect ideas with and, but, or because. To hit B2, you need to show how one event leads to another using formal connectors.

Look at this specific transition from the text:

"Consequently, the suspect has been charged..."

The B2 Shift: Instead of saying "The police arrested him, so he is in court," we use Consequently. This word acts like a bridge, signaling a formal result. It transforms a simple story into a professional report.

🛠️ Upgrade Your Logic

Here is how to replace 'A2 words' with 'B2 logic' based on the article's patterns:

A2 Logic (Simple)	B2 Logic (Sophisticated)	Example from Context
So...	$\rightarrow$ Consequently...	The arrest happened $\rightarrow$ Consequently, he was charged.
Because of...	$\rightarrow$ As a result of...	Murder $\rightarrow$ as a result of domestic violence.
And also...	$\rightarrow$ As well as...	Murder $\rightarrow$ as well as illegal possession.

💡 Pro-Tip: The 'Passive' Power

Notice how the text says "The arrest was carried out" instead of "Police did the arrest."

B2 speakers use the Passive Voice (be + past participle) to sound more objective and official. When the action (the arrest) is more important than the person doing it, flip the sentence. This is the secret to writing academic or journalistic English.
