💡 The 'Comparing' Trick
In the text, we see a very useful way to compare two things: More + Adjective.
- Money is important Technology is more important.
How to use it: When a word is long (like important, careful, or expensive), we don't add "-er". We just put more in front of it.
Real-world examples:
- This phone is expensive That phone is more expensive.
- English is difficult Chinese is more difficult.
⏱️ Time Words
Look at how the text talks about the future:

- Soon: Something that will happen in a short time ( sell shares soon ).
- Until: Up to a specific point ( wait until 2027 ).
