Vocabulary Learning
🧩 The "Connection Shift": Moving from Basic to Fluid
At an A2 level, you likely write sentences like: "The father had no job. He argued with family. They took poison." This is correct, but it sounds like a list. To reach B2, you need to glue your ideas together using Cohesive Devices.
⚡️ The Upgrade: Transition Words
Look at how the article connects a cause to a result using these specific anchors:
- "Regarding..." Use this to change the topic smoothly. Instead of saying "Now I will talk about the cause," use Regarding the cause...
- "Specifically..." This is your zoom lens. Use it when you want to give a precise example of a general problem.
- "Furthermore..." The "plus" sign of academic English. Use this instead of "and" or "also" to add a new, important point.
🛠 Practical Application: The 'B2 Logic' Map

Coach's Tip: Stop using "And" to start your sentences. Try replacing it with Furthermore or Moreover to immediately sound more advanced.
