Introduction

Iran has many problems now. The government is mean to its people. Some prisoners are very sick.

Main Body

The government in Iran is fighting its own people. Many people died in January. Now, the US and Israel are also fighting Iran. The government stopped the internet. They say people who disagree with them are enemies. Some prisoners are in danger. Narges Mohammadi won a Nobel Prize. She is very sick with a heart problem. The government does not give her the medicine she needs. Some other prisoners are killed by the state. But one lawyer, Nasrin Sotoudeh, left prison this Wednesday. Many famous people want the prisoners to be free. The US says they want to help, but their bombs kill people. The US and Israel might start fighting again soon. The peace is not strong.

Conclusion

Iran is a dangerous place. The government is strict and the peace is weak.

The "Who does What" Pattern

In this text, we see a simple way to describe a situation.

Person/Group →\rightarrow Action →\rightarrow Object

  • The government →\rightarrow stopped →\rightarrow the internet.
  • Many people →\rightarrow died →\rightarrow (in January).
  • The US →\rightarrow says →\rightarrow they want to help.

Word Power: Opposites

To reach A2, you need to describe things using opposites. Look at these pairs from the story:

  • Strong vs Weak (The peace is not strong →\rightarrow the peace is weak)
  • Free vs Prisoner (Famous people want them to be free →\rightarrow they are prisoners)

Quick Tip: Using "Very"

When a word is not strong enough, add very before it to make it a "big" feeling:

  • Sick →\rightarrow Very sick
  • Mean →\rightarrow Very mean
