Introduction

Doctors and fan groups are worried about the World Cup. They see problems with health, weather, and high prices.

Main Body

Many tourists will visit from June 13 to July 19. Doctors think more people will get sick. Some people may have stomach problems or other infections. Many people may also drink too much alcohol. The weather will be very hot. In Texas, the temperature may be over 37°C. This is dangerous for the players. The players' union says the games must stop if it is too hot. People may eat bad food and drink too much. This makes their bodies weak. Also, tickets are very expensive. Some tickets cost $220, and some cost $4,185. This is much more money than the organizers promised.

Conclusion

Too many tourists, hot weather, and high prices create big problems for health and money.

Learning

The "May" Tool

In this text, the word may is used many times. It is a simple way to talk about things that are possible but not 100% sure.

Examples from the text:

  • "People may have stomach problems" →\rightarrow (It is possible)
  • "The temperature may be over 37°C" →\rightarrow (It is possible)
  • "People may eat bad food" →\rightarrow (It is possible)

How to use it

Person/Thing + may + Action

  • I may go to the game.
  • It may rain tomorrow.
  • The tickets may be expensive.

Tip: Notice that the action word after "may" never changes. You don't add "s" or "ing". It stays basic.
