Some people took too many children. They used fake names. They wanted money. The government found many problems with the addresses and safety checks.

有些人接納了過多兒童。他們使用假名,目的是為了獲取金錢。政府發現許多地址和安全檢查存在問題。

⚡ The 'Too Much' Pattern

In this story, we see the word "too" used to show a problem. It means more than is good.

  • Too many children \rightarrow (More children than the person can handle).
  • Too slow \rightarrow (Not fast enough; a problem).

How to use it: Too + Adjective/Amount = Bad Situation

Quick Examples:

  • The coffee is too hot. (I cannot drink it).
  • The bag is too heavy. (I cannot carry it).
  • The room is too small. (We cannot fit).

🛠️ Word Shift: Bad \rightarrow Worse

Notice how the text describes problems:

  • "Bad job"
  • "Bad sponsors"

When something is already bad, but becomes even more bad, we use Worse.

Example: "The old leaders did a bad job, but the new problems are worse."
