Introduction

Companies are changing how they make software. They want to make software safe from the first day.

Main Body

In the past, people made software first. Then they looked for problems and fixed them. This is too slow now. AI makes software very fast, but it also makes more mistakes. Now, companies want to plan for safety at the start. They want to check for problems before the software is finished. Some big government groups say this is the best way. Companies also use code from other people. This can be dangerous. They need a clear plan to check all the code. This helps the company stay strong if a problem happens.

Conclusion

The industry wants to put safety first. This reduces risks and saves money in the future.

🕒 Time Changes: Past vs. Now

Look at how the text talks about time. This is a great way to move toward A2 English.

1. The Old Way (Past)

  • "People made software first" →\rightarrow Made (This is the past of 'make').
  • "They looked for problems" →\rightarrow Looked (This is the past of 'look').

2. The New Way (Now)

  • "Companies are changing" →\rightarrow This is happening right now.
  • "They want to plan" →\rightarrow This is a current goal.

💡 Quick Rule: To talk about the past in simple English, we often add -ed to the end of the action word (look →\rightarrow looked). Some words change completely (make →\rightarrow made).

Words to remember from the text:

  • Fast →\rightarrow Slow
  • Safe →\rightarrow Dangerous
  • Start →\rightarrow Finish
