⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see words that describe things happening right now or regularly. For A2, you need to know how to connect a Person/Group to an Action.

Look at these patterns:

  • The government →\rightarrow is taking action
  • People →\rightarrow started fires
  • Universities →\rightarrow must report hate

🛠️ Simple Word Swaps

To move from A1 to A2, stop using only basic words. Look at how the text changes simple ideas into 'stronger' ideas:

  • Bad →\rightarrow Danger (The situation is not just bad; it is dangerous)
  • Fight →\rightarrow Stop (The government wants to stop the violence)
  • Money →\rightarrow Spending (They are not just using money; they are spending it on security)

💡 Key Tip: The 'Must' Rule

Notice the sentence: "Universities must now report hate."

Use MUST when there is a rule.

  • I must study.
  • You must stop.
  • They must report.
