Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Logic Jump': Moving from A2 to B2
At the A2 level, you use simple connectors like and, but, and because. To reach B2, you need to show causality and comparison using more formal 'signposts'.
Look at how this report connects ideas:
🔗 The Power of 'Consequently'
Instead of saying: "The match was bad, so they stopped it," the author uses Consequently.
- What it does: It tells the reader that Event B happened as a direct result of Event A.
- B2 Usage: Use this at the start of a sentence to sound more professional.
- Example: "The weather was terrible. Consequently, the flight was delayed."
⚖️ The 'Similarly' Bridge
A2 students often repeat 'Also' many times. B2 students use Similarly to link two similar reactions or opinions.
- The Article's Logic: Epping Club thanked people Similarly, Lalor Club expressed support.
- Your Turn: Use this when two different people or groups feel the same way about something.
- Example: "My father loves hiking. Similarly, my brother spends every weekend in the mountains."
🛠️ Quick Vocabulary Upgrade
Stop using "did/made" for everything. Notice these high-level verbs in the text:
- Carried out (instead of 'did') "Police carried out an investigation."
- Emphasized (instead of 'said strongly') "Both clubs emphasized their priority."
- Released (instead of 'gave') "The club released a statement."
