- They will not use government money. (A negative future plan).
💰 Money Words
To reach A2, you need to describe costs and budgets. Look at these three different ways the text talks about money:
- Cost: "cost 2 billion pounds" (The price of the object).
- Debt: "a lot of debt" (Money that is owed to others).
- Pay: "ways to pay for it" (The act of giving money).
Quick Tip:
Cost = The Price Pay = The Action
