Energy Problems and Arguments in Cuba
Introduction
Cuba has no electricity and no fuel. This is because the United States stopped fuel from entering the country.
Main Body
President Trump made a new rule in January 2026. Now, Mexico and Venezuela do not send oil to Cuba. Cuba has no diesel fuel. Many people in Havana have no power for 22 hours a day. People are angry. They walk in the streets and make loud noises. They want electricity. The United Nations says the U.S. rule is wrong. Some U.S. leaders want to talk to Cuba, but others do not. The U.S. offered 100 million dollars to help people. But they want the Catholic Church to give the money. They also want Cuba to change its laws. President Díaz-Canel says the U.S. must stop the blockade first.
Conclusion
Cuba still has no power. The U.S. uses money and fuel to make Cuba change its government.

⚡ The 'NO' Pattern
In this text, we see a very simple way to say something is missing. Instead of complex words, we use: NO + [Thing].
- No electricity
- No fuel
- No power

If you are at a hotel and there is no water, you don't need a long sentence. Just say:
"There is no water!" → This is the fastest way to communicate a problem at A2 level.
🚶 Action Words (Simple Present)
Look at how the text describes people:
They walk → They make → They want.
When talking about a group of people (They), the verb stays short. No extra letters at the end.

- I want → They want
- I walk → They walk
