⚡ The 'Wait' Logic
In the text, we see: "Navdeep Sharma waited 18 months."

- She waited 2 hours → (Simple)
- They waited 18 months → (From the article)
⚖️ 'Fair' vs 'Not Fair'
This is a key A2 word for describing rules and feelings.
- Fair = Correct / Right for everyone.
- Not fair = Wrong / Unjust.
Example from text:
- "The process was not fair." → This means the rules were broken.
- "Make sure the process is fair." → This means the judge wants the rules to be correct.
