Introduction

The Delhi government now protects 673 hectares of the Central Ridge forest. This law helps the environment.

Main Body

The government made this area a 'reserved forest'. This means the land is now safe. This process took thirty years to finish. Now, the government wants to plant many small trees in a small area. They will spend 5 crore rupees. They want to remove bad plants and add 100,000 new trees. Some experts do not like this plan. They say this new way uses too much water. They think it is not good for the local hills.

Conclusion

The forest has more legal protection now. But, experts and the government disagree about how to plant the trees.

🌲 The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe a plan using want to + action.

The Rule: When someone has a goal, we use: Person β†’\rightarrow want to β†’\rightarrow do something.

Examples from the text:

  • The government β†’\rightarrow wants to plant trees.
  • The government β†’\rightarrow wants to remove bad plants.

Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of just saying "I like trees," you can now express intentions.

  • Example: "I want to learn English."
  • Example: "I want to visit Delhi."
