Introduction

The Australian government and the opposition have different ideas about taxes and migration.

Main Body

The government wants to help workers. They will give workers $250. They will take this money from people who own many houses and businesses. The opposition group has a different plan. They want to lower taxes for everyone. They also want to help small businesses with more money. The opposition also wants fewer people to move to Australia. They say Australia needs more houses first. They want to stop some migrants from getting government help. Some business leaders do not like this because they need more workers.

Conclusion

Australia has two very different plans for the future of the country.

πŸ’‘ The Power of "Want"

In this text, we see a pattern for talking about goals and plans. We use Want + To + Action.

  • Government β†’\rightarrow wants to help
  • Opposition β†’\rightarrow want to lower
  • Opposition β†’\rightarrow want to stop

Keep it simple:

  • I want to learn. βœ…
  • They want to go. βœ…

🏠 Words for People and Places

Look at how we group people in this story:

  • Workers (People with jobs)
  • Migrants (People moving to a new country)
  • Business leaders (The bosses)

Useful Tip: When we talk about a group, we often add an -s at the end (Worker β†’\rightarrow Workers).
