Vocabulary Learning

⚡ The 'Connective Jump' (A2 → B2)

To move from A2 to B2, you must stop using only simple words like and, but, and so. You need Logical Transitions.

Look at how this article connects ideas. It doesn't just list facts; it guides the reader using 'Signposts'.

1. The 'Adding More' Tool Instead of saying "And..." at the start of a sentence (which is very A2), the text uses:

"Furthermore..."

B2 Power Move: Use Furthermore or Moreover when you want to add a second, stronger point to your argument. It makes you sound academic and professional.

2. The 'Focus Shift' Tool Instead of saying "About the guests...", the text uses:

"Regarding..." and "In terms of..."

B2 Power Move: These phrases act like a spotlight. They tell the listener exactly which topic you are switching to.

  • Example: "In terms of my hobbies, I love reading." (B2) vs "I have hobbies. I like reading." (A2).
