Introduction

Donald Trump wants his name and face on many buildings, money, and parks in the United States.

Main Body

The government is changing names of places. For example, the Palm Beach Airport is now the President Donald J Trump International Airport. Other buildings in Washington D.C. also have new names. Some people are angry and are going to court to stop this. Trump's face and name are now on other things. His picture is on National Park passes and some passports. His name will be on 100-dollar bills in June. There is also a special gold coin with his face. There are now big gold statues of Trump. One statue is in Pennsylvania and another is in Miami. Some people like the statues. They say the statues show strength. Other people say the statues are wrong because of their religion.

Conclusion

The President is putting his name and face in more places. Many people are still arguing and fighting in court about this.

Learning

💡 The 'Some' vs 'Other' Pattern

In the story, we see a way to talk about two different groups of people who feel differently. This is very useful for A2 learners to describe opinions.

The Pattern: Some people [Action/Feeling] →\rightarrow Other people [Different Action/Feeling]

Examples from the text:

  • Some people are angry →\rightarrow Other people say the statues show strength.
  • Some people like the statues →\rightarrow Other people say they are wrong.

Why this helps you: Instead of saying "Many people disagree," you can split the group. This makes your English sound more natural and organized.

Quick Guide:

  • Some: Use this for the first group (approx. 50%).
  • Other: Use this for the second group (the rest).

🔑 Vocabulary: Place & Identity

Notice how the text connects Names to Places:

  • Name on a building →\rightarrow The airport is now the [Name] Airport.
  • Face on an object →\rightarrow His picture is on the passport.
