Vocabulary Learning
🚀 The 'Cause & Effect' Jump
At the A2 level, you likely use 'and' or 'so' to connect ideas. To hit B2, you need words that show a logical relationship between two events. This article gives us a perfect example of this transition.
The A2 Way:
"Luke Trainor was injured, so they brought in Tom Brown."
The B2 Way (from the text):
"Richmond had to make several changes... Consequently, they brought in Tom Brown."
💡 Why this matters
Using 'Consequently' signals to the listener that you are analyzing a situation, not just listing facts. It transforms a simple sentence into a professional observation.
Other 'B2 Bridges' for Cause and Effect:
- Therefore (Similar to consequently; very formal)
- Due to (Used before a noun: "Due to the renovations, the stadium is closed.")
- As a result (A great all-purpose phrase for essays or reports)
🛠️ Applying it to the story
Look at the Wests Tigers match. The text describes a massive comeback. If we wanted to use our B2 bridge words, we could say:
- The Tigers were trailing by 24 points; therefore, the victory was a huge surprise.
- The stadium will be closed due to a $40 million upgrade.
Pro Tip: Put 'Consequently' or 'Therefore' at the start of a new sentence followed by a comma to create a strong, rhythmic pace in your writing.
