Introduction

The IAEA helped Russia and Ukraine stop fighting for a short time. They want to fix the electricity at the nuclear power plant.

IAEA 協助俄羅斯與烏克蘭達成短暫停火，希望修復核電廠的電力供應。

Main Body

The power plant has a big problem. It needs electricity to keep the reactors cool. One big power line is broken. The plant uses a small backup line, but it often fails. This is very dangerous.

該電廠目前有一個大問題。它需要電力來保持反應爐冷卻。一條主要電力線損壞了。電廠目前使用一條較小的備用線，但經常失效。這是非常危險的。

Rafael Grossi from the IAEA talked to both sides. They agreed to stop fighting so workers can remove mines and fix the big power line. However, some Russian soldiers were hurt during this work.

IAEA 的 Rafael Grossi 與雙方進行了協商。雙方同意停火，以便工人清除地雷並修復主電力線。然而，部分俄羅斯士兵在施工期間受傷了。

Other fighting continues in Ukraine. Drones and missiles still hit different cities. The area around the power plant is not safe.

烏克蘭的其他地區仍持續戰鬥。無人機與飛彈依然擊中不同城市。核電廠周邊區域並不安全。

Conclusion

The power plant is still in danger. It needs the big power line to work again.

該電廠仍處於危險之中。它需要主電力線重新恢復運作。

⚡ The 'Need' Pattern

In this story, something is missing or broken. To describe a necessity, we use need + [thing/action].

1. Needing a thing:

  • "It needs electricity."
  • "The plant needs the big power line."

2. Needing to do something:

  • "Workers need to fix the line."
  • "They need to remove mines."

🛠️ Action Words for Fixing

When things break, we use these simple words:

  • Broken →\rightarrow Not working (The line is broken).
  • Fix →\rightarrow Make it work again (Fix the line).
  • Remove →\rightarrow Take away (Remove mines).

Quick Tip: If something is broken, you fix it. If something is dangerous (like a mine), you remove it.
