Vocabulary Learning
The 'Glue' of Professional English: Transition Words
At the A2 level, you likely write sentences like this: "The bank needs officers. They need 6,715 of them. There are also specialist roles." This is correct, but it sounds like a list. To reach B2, you need to connect your ideas using 'Logical Glue.'
The Secret Shift: From Simple to Sophisticated
Look at how the article connects ideas. Instead of starting every sentence with "And" or "But," it uses these professional transitions:
- Adding Information: Instead of 'Also', the text uses "Additionally" and "Furthermore."
- B2 Tip: Use these at the start of a sentence to sound more formal and organized.
- Introducing a Topic: Instead of 'About', the text uses "Regarding..."
- Example: "Regarding eligibility..." This tells the reader exactly what the next paragraph is about before they even finish the sentence.
- Showing Contrast: Instead of 'But', the text uses "However."
- B2 Tip: "However" usually comes after a full stop and is followed by a comma. It creates a stronger pause and a more academic tone.
Practical Application: The 'Upgrade' Table
| A2 Word (Simple) | B2 Word (Professional) | Context from Article |
|---|---|---|
| Also | Additionally | "Additionally, there are 745..." |
| But | However | "However, the IBPS emphasized..." |
| And / More | Furthermore | "Furthermore, the institute has..." |
| About | Regarding | "Regarding eligibility..." |
The Logic Flow If you want to sound like a B2 speaker, stop thinking in words and start thinking in links.
Idea A Transition Word Idea B
Example: "The exam is difficult; furthermore, there is negative marking."
