Introduce new structures gradually, using the Bronze level with lower-ability students while challenging more confident learners with Silver and Gold constructions. The resource works effectively as a revision aid, a planning tool for writing tasks, or as the foundation for classroom activities focused on upgrading simple sentences with more sophisticated alternatives.
