Group Gives $30 Million to Stop Hate

Introduction

The Open Society Foundations will give $30 million over three years. This money helps people who fight hate against Jewish and Muslim people.

Main Body

Many people are fighting in the Middle East. Because of this, more people are hurting Jewish and Muslim people. The group wants to stop this violence. Some politicians do not like this group. Donald Trump said the group is bad, but the group says this is not true. People also tell lies about George Soros. The money goes to schools and leaders. These leaders want Jewish and Muslim people to work together. They believe that if one group is safe, the other group is safe too. Some people disagree about what 'antisemitism' means. Some say it is hate against Jewish people. Others say it is not hate to dislike the Israeli government.

Conclusion

The Open Society Foundations use money and teamwork to stop religious hate.

πŸ’‘ The 'People' Pattern

In this text, we see a very common way to talk about groups of people using the word 'Some' and 'Many'. This is the fastest way to reach A2 level when describing a situation.

The Rule: Instead of naming every single person, use these words to group them:

  • Many people β†’\rightarrow A big group (e.g., Many people are fighting).
  • Some people β†’\rightarrow A small or specific group (e.g., Some politicians do not like this group).
  • Others β†’\rightarrow A different group from the first one (e.g., Others say it is not hate).

πŸ› οΈ Building Simple Sentences

Look at how the text connects a Person to an Action:

  1. The group β†’\rightarrow wants to stop violence.
  2. Donald Trump β†’\rightarrow said the group is bad.
  3. Leaders β†’\rightarrow want people to work together.

Tip: To sound like an A2 speaker, keep your sentences short: [Who] + [Action] + [What/Why].

Example: The money (Who) β†’\rightarrow goes to (Action) β†’\rightarrow schools (What).
