Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'B2 Bridge': Moving from Basic to Precise
At the A2 level, you might say: "The car hit a tree and the person died." It is correct, but it sounds like a child speaking. To reach B2, you need Precision Verbs and Formal Linking.
🛠 Precision: Stop using 'Hit' and 'Happened'
Look at how the text describes crashes. Instead of just saying "hit," it uses specific movements:
- Overturned: When a car flips upside down. (A2: The car fell over)
- Collided: When two things hit each other with force. (A2: They hit each other)
- Out of control: When the driver cannot steer the car. (A2: The driver couldn't stop)
Pro Tip: In B2 English, we describe how something happened, not just that it happened.
🔗 The Logic Connectors
Notice these three words. They are the 'glue' that makes a report feel professional:
- Meanwhile: Used when two different things happen at the same time in different places.
- Example: The police were in New Jersey; meanwhile, another accident happened in Florida.
- Furthermore: Used to add more (often worse) information to a point.
- Example: The driver was injured; furthermore, the car caught fire.
- Resulted in: Instead of saying "and then X happened," use this to show a direct cause.
- Example: The crash resulted in several deaths.
