Introduction

Main Body

Tickets and hotels are expensive. Now, ticket prices are going down. Many hotels in the USA are not full because people do not want to pay too much money. Some people have problems with travel papers. The USA helps people from five African countries. But people from Iran and Haiti cannot go. The Iranian team is worried about their visas. FIFA has a big music show for the final game. Madonna, Shakira, and BTS will sing. This show gives money to help students. There will also be a big party in three cities. You can watch all 104 games on TV. You can use Fox or Telemundo. Some people use YouTube TV or Walmart+ to watch the games.

Conclusion

The World Cup has great music and shows. But FIFA must fix the problems with tickets and travel papers.

⚡ The 'Can' Power-Up

In this text, we see a very useful word for beginners: can. It tells us what is possible.

How it works:

  • Can + Action →\rightarrow It is possible.
  • Cannot (or can't) + Action →\rightarrow It is NOT possible.

Real Examples from the Story:

  • "People from Iran and Haiti cannot go." (Not possible →\rightarrow No entry)
  • "You can watch all 104 games on TV." (Possible →\rightarrow Available)
  • "You can use Fox or Telemundo." (Possible →\rightarrow Choice)

Quick Rule: Regardless of who is doing the action (I, You, He, They), can never changes. It is always the same word!

I can→\text{I can} \rightarrow You can→\text{You can} \rightarrow They can\text{They can}
