Main Body
The government made two groups for loans. One group can borrow $100,000. The other group can borrow $200,000. The government said only doctors and lawyers are in the second group. Nurses and health workers were not in this group.
政府將貸款分為兩組。一組可以借款 10 萬美元，另一組則可以借款 20 萬美元。政府表示只有醫生和律師屬於第二組，護理師和醫療工作者則不在其中。
Eight groups went to court. They said the rule was unfair. They said students need more money for school. If they do not get loans, they cannot study.
八個團體提起訴訟，認為這項規定並不公平。他們表示學生需要更多就學資金，如果無法獲得貸款，他們將無法就學。
Judge Beryl Howell agreed. She said the government did not have the power to make this rule. She said the rule would hurt people who need health services.

Vocabulary Learning
📌 The 'Who' vs. 'What' Pattern
In this story, we see a clear difference between people (Who) and things/rules (What). This is a key step for A2 learners to organize a sentence.
1. The People (Who)
- Doctors → High loan group
- Lawyers → High loan group
- Nurses → Not in the high group
- Judge Beryl Howell → The person who decides
2. The Rules (What)
- The rule → Changed the money
- The limit → How much money you can take
- The power → The right to make a rule
💡 Simple Logic Tip: When you speak English, always ask: Is this a person or a thing?
- Wrong: The rule is a doctor. (Rule = Thing / Doctor = Person) Does not make sense.
- Right: The doctor follows the rule. (Person Action Thing).
Quick Vocabulary Focus:
- Borrow To take money now and pay later.
- Unfair Not right or not equal.
