Introduction

Singapore wants more tourists. The government is spending money to help people visit the city.

Main Body

More people will visit Singapore in 2026. However, these visitors will spend less money. This is because fuel is expensive and there are wars in other countries. The government has a big plan called Tourism 2040. They will spend 740 million dollars to make the city better. They want more music shows and cultural events to attract people. Singapore is also building new ports for big ships. A new Disney ship started its trips. But on May 7, 2026, a ship broke. 6,700 people could not travel. Disney gave the people their money back.

Conclusion

Singapore has some problems now. But the government still spends money to grow in the future.

πŸš€ The 'Future' Tool

In this text, we see a pattern used to talk about things that haven't happened yet. We use will + action.

Examples from the text:

  • More people will visit Singapore.

How to use it: Subject + will + verb (simple form)

Quick Patterns:

  • I will go β†’ (I'm planning to go)
  • It will rain β†’ (I think it's going to rain)
  • They will help β†’ (They plan to help)

πŸ’° Money Words

Notice how the text talks about money. It uses two different directions:

  1. Spending (Money goes away) β†’ "The government is spending money"
  2. Giving back (Money returns) β†’ "Disney gave the people their money back"

πŸ›‘ The 'But' Switch

When the story changes from Good News to Bad News, the text uses words like However and But.

  • Good: Singapore wants more tourists.
  • However β†’\rightarrow Bad: Visitors will spend less money.
  • Good: New ships are coming.
