Introduction

FIFA has a new song for the 2026 World Cup. Shakira and Burna Boy sing the song. It is called 'Dai Dai'.

Main Body

The song 'Dai Dai' uses music from Africa and Latin America. It uses many languages. The singers want people from these places to like the music. Shakira and Sony Music give money from the song to children. This money helps kids go to school and play sports. They want to collect 100 million dollars. Madonna, Shakira, and BTS will perform at the final game on July 19. The game is in New Jersey. Some people worry the show is too long for the 15-minute break.

Conclusion

The World Cup starts on June 11. It will have famous music and help children.

🌍 The 'Giving' Pattern

In the text, we see a specific way to talk about helping others:

  • Give money to children
  • Money helps kids go to school

The Simple Rule: When you use the word GIVE, you usually follow this path: GIVE β†’\rightarrow THING β†’\rightarrow PERSON

Examples for your daily life:

  • I give a gift β†’\rightarrow to my friend.
  • She gives water β†’\rightarrow to the dog.
  • They give food β†’\rightarrow to the poor.

πŸ—“οΈ Talking About the Future

Look at how the article says things will happen in 2026:

  • The World Cup starts on June 11.
  • It will have famous music.

A2 Tip: Use 'WILL' when you are predicting something or talking about a future plan.

  • I will travel next year.
  • It will rain tomorrow.

Quick Note: If you have a fixed date (like June 11), you can use the simple present (starts) to sound more natural!
