⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how we describe things happening in the text. To reach A2, you need to move from simple words to Action Phrases.
1. Moving People In this story, people don't just 'go' places. They are moved by power:
- Put in prison (The police do this)
- Told to leave (The government does this)
- Go home (The worker must do this)
2. The 'Want' Logic We use "wanted to + [action]" to talk about plans or goals. This is a key A2 structure.
- He wanted to hurt...
- He wanted to break...
3. Quick Word Swaps Instead of using "bad," use these specific words from the text to sound more natural:
- Angry (Feeling)
- Hurt (Action)
- Break (Damage)
