Problems Between Different Groups in the USA

Introduction

Some groups of people in the USA are not friends anymore. They are arguing about religion and politics.

Main Body

Black people and Jewish people worked together in the past. Now, some leaders are angry. They do not like a group called AIPAC. Because of this, some famous politicians do not want to take money from AIPAC. Some politicians started a new group in 2025. They want to talk about Islamic law. They think this law is dangerous for the country. Another group called CAIR is unhappy. They say the first group is lying. They believe these politicians only want to win more votes.

Conclusion

Old friendships are ending. Politicians are using their power to argue about religion and identity.

πŸ’‘ The 'People' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe groups and their feelings. To move to A2, you need to connect Who β†’\rightarrow How they feel β†’\rightarrow Why.

1. The Feelings List

  • Angry (Very mad)
  • Unhappy (Sad or annoyed)
  • Not friends (No longer like each other)

2. Building Simple Sentences Look at how the text connects people to feelings:

"Some leaders β†’\rightarrow are β†’\rightarrow angry." "Another group β†’\rightarrow is β†’\rightarrow unhappy."

3. The 'Because' Bridge When you want to explain a problem, use Because. It is the best way to make your English sound more natural.

  • Example: "They are angry because of this group."

Quick Tip: Instead of saying "I am sad," try "I am unhappy because..." to give more information!
