⚡ The "Comparing People" Trick
In this story, the writer tells us who is better. To reach A2, you need to know how to compare two things simply.
1. The "Better" Pattern When we talk about quality, we don't say "more good." We say better or great.
- Example: Morgan Gibbs-White is great. (He is at a high level).
- Example: He is not as good as Gibbs-White. (Hinshelwood is lower level).
2. Describing Abilities Notice how the text uses simple adjectives to describe players. Use these in your own speaking:
- Strong (Powerful/Good choice)
- Smart (Intelligent/Clever)
- Healthy (Not sick/Not injured)
3. Quick Change: Now vs. Future Look at the time shift in the text:
- Now: "He plays very well now." (Present fact)
- Future: "He is good for the future." (Something that will happen later)
