Vocabulary Learning
🚀 The 'Upgrade' Strategy: Moving from Basic to Precise
At the A2 level, you use simple words like say, big, or also. To reach B2, you must replace these with Precise Verbs and Connecting Adverbs. Let's look at the text to see how a basic story becomes a professional report.
⚡ The Verb Swap
Look at how the author describes the father's claims. Instead of saying "He said...", the text uses:
- Asserted: This is a "strong" version of said. It means to state something confidently and forcefully.
- Emphasized: This doesn't just mean said; it means to give special importance to a specific point.
B2 Tip: Stop using 'say' for everything. If someone is complaining or arguing, use 'assert' or 'claim'.
🔗 The Logical Glue
B2 students don't just write short sentences; they connect ideas to show a relationship. Notice these transition words in the article:
"...prescribed medication months before she died; furthermore, he emphasized..."
Furthermore is a power-word. It's a sophisticated way to say "and also" or "plus." It tells the reader that you are adding a second, even more important piece of information.
"Meanwhile, her father..."
Meanwhile is used when two different things are happening at the same time. Instead of saying "At the same time...", use Meanwhile to start a sentence and sound more natural.
