China and the KMT Party Talk Again

Introduction

China and the KMT party from Taiwan are talking again. They did not talk for a long time.

Main Body

Cheng Li-wun is the leader of the KMT. She went to China for six days. She met President Xi Jinping. China wants to talk to the KMT. China does not want to talk to the current government of Taiwan. Leaders from both sides talked about their shared history. China gave ten new rules to help. Now, some people from Taiwan can travel to China more easily. Taiwanese companies can also do more business in China. Some people in Taiwan like these talks. They think it stops war. Other people do not like it. They say China still uses its army to scare Taiwan. The KMT party is now more popular in Taiwan.

Conclusion

China and the KMT are talking now. But the KMT does not run the government, so these talks do not change the laws yet.

πŸ’‘ The Power of 'Can'

In the text, we see a word that opens doors: can.

When we want to say something is possible or allowed, we use can. It is a very simple word because it does not change, no matter who is doing the action.

Look at these examples from the story:

  • People can travel β†’ It is possible to go.
  • Companies can do business β†’ They are allowed to work.

How to use it: Person/Group + can + Action

Easy Examples for You:

  • I can speak English.
  • You can read this book.
  • We can go to the park.

πŸ›‘ Stopping the Action: 'Do not'

To say 'no' to an action, the text uses do not. This is how we make a sentence negative for things happening generally.

  • The KMT does not run the government.
  • China does not want to talk.

Quick Tip: Use do not for I, You, We, They. Use does not for He, She, It (like 'China' or 'The KMT').
