Introduction

Benjamin Netanyahu is the leader of Israel. He went on a secret trip to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Both countries want to be safe from Iran.

Main Body

Israel and the UAE are now close friends. On March 26, Netanyahu met the UAE President. They talked about security. Israel sent a special system called Iron Dome to the UAE. This system stops missiles in the sky. Some reports say the two countries also attacked Iran together. They hit a factory on an island in April. The UAE government says this is not true. They say they only follow their old peace agreement. Iran is very angry about this. Iran sent drones and missiles to the UAE in February. Now, the world is watching both countries. Some people say they did bad things in wars in Gaza and Sudan.

Conclusion

The US and Iran have a weak peace. But Israel and the UAE are now stronger partners. They share secrets and tools to protect themselves.

πŸ’‘ The Power of 'NOW'

In the text, we see a word that changes the time of a sentence: Now.

When we use now, we talk about the current moment or a new situation. It is a simple way to move from the past to the present.

Look at these changes:

  • Before: They were strangers. β†’\rightarrow Now: They are close friends.
  • Before: They were alone. β†’\rightarrow Now: The world is watching.

To reach A2, you must master the 'Everyday Action'. Notice how the text describes things that are generally true:

  • Stops β†’\rightarrow (The system stops missiles)
  • Follow β†’\rightarrow (They follow the agreement)
  • Share β†’\rightarrow (They share secrets)

Quick Rule: If it is one person/thing (Israel/The system), add an -s. If it is many people (They/Countries), keep the word plain.
