印度購買燃料新規定
Introduction
The government has new rules for buying fuel. They want to make sure there is enough fuel for everyone.
政府出台了購買燃料的新規定，旨在確保每個人都有足夠的燃料可用。
Main Body
Fuel at gas stations is cheaper than fuel for big companies. Because of this, many companies bought fuel at gas stations. This made fuel scarce for other people.
加油站的燃料比大公司採購的燃料便宜。因此，許多公司在加油站購買燃料，導致其他人面臨燃料短缺。
Now, big companies must buy fuel from special bulk points. People can only buy 200 litres of fuel per day. They must put fuel in safe tanks. They cannot sell this fuel to other people.
現在，大公司必須從特殊的批發點購買燃料。每人每天限購 200 公升燃料。他們必須將燃料儲存在安全油槽中，且不得將這些燃料轉賣給他人。
Small cars and motorbikes are okay. Their tanks are small. But big trucks and buses have a problem. Their tanks are very large. The government will punish people who break these rules.
小型車和摩托車沒有問題，因為它們的油箱較小。但大型卡車和公車則有問題，因為它們的油箱非常大。政府將懲罰違反這些規定的人。
Conclusion
These rules last for 90 days. They help all people get fuel fairly.
這些規定將持續 90 天，有助於讓所有人公平地獲得燃料。

⚖️ The Power of 'Than'
In this text, we see a way to compare two things. When we want to say one thing is 'more' or 'less' than another, we use -er + than.
- Cheaper than (Price A is lower than Price B)
- Larger than (Size A is bigger than Size B)
How to use it:
[Thing A] + [Short Word + er] + than + [Thing B]
Examples from the story: ⛽ Fuel at gas stations is cheaper than fuel for big companies.
Quick Tip for A2: If the word is short (like small, fast, or cheap), just add -er.
- Small Smaller
- Fast Faster
- Cheap Cheaper
🛑 Stopping Actions: 'Cannot'
To tell someone they are not allowed to do something, use cannot. It is a strong word for rules.
- They cannot sell this fuel.
It is the opposite of can (being able to do it).
Can (Yes ✅) Cannot (No ❌)
