Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Logic Glue' Shift
At the A2 level, you usually connect ideas with and, but, or because. To move toward B2, you need Logical Connectors. These are words that act like glue, telling the reader exactly how two ideas relate without using the same simple words every time.
Look at these 'upgrades' from the text:
-
Instead of saying 'So...' Use Consequently
- Text Example: "...decided to expand. Consequently, they opened two more branches."
- B2 Secret: Use this when one event is the direct result of another. It sounds more professional and structured.
-
Instead of saying 'Also...' Use Furthermore
- Text Example: "Furthermore, they offer a yuzu-style tonkotsu..."
- B2 Secret: Use this when you are adding a new, important point to support your argument. It signals to the listener that you have more to say.
-
Instead of saying 'About...' Use In terms of
- Text Example: "In terms of the menu, the restaurant specializes..."
- B2 Secret: This phrase allows you to switch topics cleanly. It's like a signpost that tells the reader: "I am now talking specifically about this category."
💡 Pro Tip for Fluency: Don't just memorize these words; notice where they sit. They almost always appear at the start of a sentence, followed by a comma.
- Incorrect: I was tired consequently I slept. (A2 style)
- B2 Style: I was tired. Consequently, I slept.
