Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Passive' Power-Up
At the A2 level, you usually say who did what (Active Voice). But to reach B2, you must master the Passive Voice. This is how news reports sound professional and objective.
Look at this shift from a "Student's English" to a "B2 English":
- A2 (Active): "The police found the bodies." Simple, but basic.
- B2 (Passive): "The bodies were recovered." Sophisticated, focusing on the result, not the actor.
🔍 Why this is a "Bridge" to B2
In the article, we see this pattern repeatedly:
- "The victims have been identified..."
- "...their clothes and shoes were found..."
- "...the families have been informed."
The Secret Formula: Be (am/is/are/was/were/been) + Past Participle (the 3rd column of verbs).
🚀 Leveling Up Your Vocabulary
Stop using "found" for everything. To sound like a B2 speaker, swap basic words for High-Impact Verbs used in the text:
| A2 Word | B2 Upgrade | Example from Text |
|---|---|---|
| Found | Recovered | "...Srivastava's body was recovered..." |
| Told | Informed | "...families... have been informed." |
| Started | Initiated/Opened | "...police have opened a formal case..." |
💡 Pro Tip: The 'Invisible' Subject
B2 speakers use the passive voice when the person doing the action is obvious or unimportant. In this story, we know the police are doing the searching, so the author removes "The police" to make the sentence faster and more dramatic.
Try this mentally: Instead of saying "The doctor informed the family," say "The family was informed." You've just moved one step closer to B2.
