💡 The 'Who Wants' Pattern
In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about goals and opinions: [Person/Group] + want(s) + [Thing/Action].
How it works:
- Single person/group wants (e.g., The law wants...)
- Multiple people/groups want (e.g., Some people want...)
Examples from the story:
- "The law wants to change..."
- "Some big sports groups... want to keep it."
- "They want the rules to be the same..."
Quick Tip for A2: Use this pattern to describe what you need or what you like in a simple way:
- I want a coffee.
- My friend wants to learn English.
- The students want a break.
