Iguanas 擁有 44 家餐廳。該公司在 2025 年虧損近 1,000 萬英鎊。它需要其所有者 The Big Table Group 提供資金才能維持經營。

💸 The 'Money' Logic

In this story, we see how to talk about money moving in different directions. For an A2 learner, the most important thing is matching the action to the amount.

1. Losing vs. Saving

  • Lost →\rightarrow Money goes away (The company lost £10 million).
  • Save →\rightarrow Keep money for the future (Save its business).

2. Giving vs. Paying

  • Gives →\rightarrow Sending money to help (The group gives £3 million).
  • Pays →\rightarrow Giving money because you owe it (The company pays rent).

3. High vs. Low

  • High prices →\rightarrow Things cost a lot of money.
  • Less rent →\rightarrow A smaller amount of money.

Quick Note on 'Debt' When the text says "removes debt," it means the company does not have to pay back the money it borrowed.

  • Debt →\rightarrow Money you owe to someone else.
