🧩 The 'Want to' Pattern

In this story, we see a very useful way to talk about goals: Want + to + Action.

  • Russia wants to be friends. \rightarrow (Goal: Friendship)
  • Russia wants to do business. \rightarrow (Goal: Trade)
  • Anwar Ibrahim wants to buy energy. \rightarrow (Goal: Shopping/Trade)

Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of just saying "I like," you can now explain what you plan to do.

Quick Rule: Person + want/wants + to + verb (action).


🛠 Word Swap: 'Grow' vs 'Increase'

The text says trade "grew a lot." In A2 English, when something becomes bigger (money, size, or numbers), we use grow.

  • Trade grew \rightarrow More business happened.
  • The city grew \rightarrow More people moved there.
