🧩 The 'More' Pattern
In this story, we see a simple way to describe improvements. When something increases, we use more + [noun].
- more money higher pay
- more work days more time to earn
Quick Rule: Use "more" before a thing to show a larger amount. It is a building block for A2 English to describe changes.
⚖️ Opposite Feelings
Look at how the text shows two different sides. This is how you build a basic argument in English:
- The Positive: "This helps poor people... live better." (Happy/Good)
- The Negative: "Political leaders are unhappy." (Sad/Bad)
Word Tip: Instead of just saying "bad," the text uses unhappy and too low. These words make your English sound more natural.
