💡 The Power of "Want"

In this story, we see how to express a desire or a need for something. This is a key step for A2 learners to move beyond simple "I like" sentences.

The Pattern: Subject + want + something

From the text:

  • EU countries \rightarrow want \rightarrow centers
  • Nineteen countries \rightarrow want \rightarrow money

🚫 Saying "No" (The Opposite)

To show disagreement, the text uses a very simple A2 structure:

Subject + do not + like + something

Example:

  • France and Spain \rightarrow do not like \rightarrow this plan
