💡 Word Swap: "Plan" vs "Promise"
These two words appear in the text and are very useful for daily English:
- Plan: An idea for the future. (Example: The government changed its plan.)
- Promise: Saying you WILL definitely do something. (Example: The government did not keep its promises.)
Quick Tip: A plan is what you want to do; a promise is what you tell others you will do.
