Introduction

The BBC started filming the second season of Celebrity Traitors. Twenty-one famous people are in the show.

Main Body

Many actors and funny people are in this group. They like the game because it is a mental challenge. Some people say there are too many men who tell jokes. There are no sports stars this time. Some famous people cannot join. Tom Hiddleston wanted to play, but he is busy with a movie. Jamie Oliver and others said no. All players live in the same simple house. They have no phones and cannot talk to people outside the game.

Conclusion

The show is filming in the Highlands. You can watch it on BBC One this autumn.

Learning

🗝️ The Power of 'Cannot'

In this story, we see people who are stopped from doing things. In English, when something is impossible or not allowed, we use cannot (or can't).

Look at these patterns from the text:

  • cannot join → Not possible to enter.
  • cannot talk → Not allowed to speak.

How to build your own sentences:

Person + cannot + Action

Simple Examples:

  • I cannot swim.
  • He cannot come to the party.
  • We cannot find the house.

💡 Quick Note on 'Too Many'

When you feel there is a quantity that is more than enough (and it's usually a problem), use too many with things you can count.

  • Too many men →\rightarrow (A lot of men, and it is a problem).
  • Too many phones →\rightarrow (More phones than we need).
