Introduction

Some places have too little water and some places have too much water. Florida has dry weather, Louisiana has floods, and Spain has big storms.

Main Body

Florida is very dry. Almost all of the state has no rain. This causes many fires. The government says people cannot start fires. Many forests burned in the first five months of the year. Louisiana has a lot of rain. The rain fell very fast. The water went onto the big roads. People could not drive their cars because of the floods. Southern Spain has dangerous storms. There is very heavy rain and strong winds. These winds are like tornadoes from the sea. The storms broke buildings and put people in danger.

Conclusion

The world has very dangerous weather now. Governments must work hard to keep people safe.

🌧ī¸ The Power of 'Too Much' and 'Too Little'

In English, we use too to show that something is a problem. It means the amount is wrong.

  • Too little →\rightarrow Not enough (Example: Too little water →\rightarrow Dry/Fires)
  • Too much →\rightarrow More than we want (Example: Too much water →\rightarrow Floods)

🏗ī¸ Building Simple Sentences

Look at how the text connects a Place to a Problem:

  1. Florida (Place) →\rightarrow is very dry (Problem)
  2. Louisiana (Place) →\rightarrow has a lot of rain (Problem)
  3. Spain (Place) →\rightarrow has dangerous storms (Problem)

A2 Tip: To describe your city, use this simple pattern: [Place] + [has/is] + [adjective/noun].

⏱ī¸ Talking about the Past

When the text talks about things that already happened, the verbs change their ending to -ed:

  • Burn →\rightarrow Burned
  • Break →\rightarrow Broke (Special change!)

These words tell us the danger is finished or already happened.
