Introduction

The Cannes Film Festival started in France. Twenty-two films want to win the top prize.

Main Body

Many famous directors show their movies here. However, big American movie companies are not here. They want to save money and use the internet to show their films. Rich people and famous brands are also at the festival. Companies like Louis Vuitton are there. People must wear very fancy clothes to enter the parties. Some movies talk about politics and war. One movie uses artificial intelligence. This new technology changes how we see old photos and videos.

Conclusion

The festival is a place for great movies and expensive luxury brands.

Learning

⚑ The 'S' Rule for Groups

Look at how we describe things in the text:

  • Companies are not here.
  • Brands are also at the festival.

The Pattern: When we have more than one thing (Plural), we don't use 'is'. We use are.

Easy Examples:

  • One movie is good. β†’ Two movies are good.
  • One person is famous. β†’ Many people are famous.

πŸ’Ž Fancy Word Swap

Instead of saying 'very expensive' or 'very nice', the text uses Fancy and Luxury.

  • Fancy clothes β†’ Clothes that look expensive.
  • Luxury brands β†’ Companies that sell very expensive things.

Try this shift: Expensive ext→ ext{→} Luxury
