Introduction

The Philadelphia Flyers are looking at their players. They want to win more games.

Main Body

The team wants to win now. But they also want to grow for a long time. Manager Danny Briere wants new players. He only wants players who help the team for many years. The team needs better players in the center and defense positions. They do not have many good players to buy in 2026. So, they will trade players or sign young players instead. Matvei Michkov is a young player. Before, the team did not want to trade him. Now, he does not play well. The team might trade him for a great center player.

Conclusion

The Flyers want to find new players and help their young players play better.

Learning

⏱ī¸ Time Words: Now vs. Later

In this text, we see how to talk about the present and the future using very simple words.

1. Right Now When things happen today, we use: Now.

  • Example: "The team wants to win now."

2. For a Long Time When we talk about many years or the future, we use: For a long time or Instead.

  • Example: "...grow for a long time."

💡 The "Want" Pattern

To reach A2, you must master how to say what you desire. Look at these patterns from the story:

[Person] + want(s) + [Thing/Action]

  • The team →\rightarrow wants →\rightarrow to win.
  • Danny Briere →\rightarrow wants →\rightarrow new players.

Quick Rule: If it is one person (He/She/The Team), add an 's' to want →\rightarrow wants.
