Hong Kong's New Five-Year Plan
香港的新五年計劃
Introduction
The Hong Kong government has a new plan for the years 2026 to 2030. People can give their ideas about the plan until August 14.
香港政府針對 2026 年至 2030 年制定了一項新計劃。民眾可以在 8 月 14 日前就該計劃提出建議。
Main Body
The plan shows big goals for the city. It does not have small details. The government will put small details in a different report every year. This helps the plan stay the same if the leaders change.
該計劃為城市設定了宏觀目標，但缺乏細節。政府將在每年的另一份報告中補充細節。這樣做是為了確保即便領導層更換，計劃仍能保持一致。
Some people are worried about the environment. They say the plan does not talk about nature in every part. For example, the plan for the Northern Metropolis does not talk much about floods or clean air.
部分人士對環境表示擔憂。他們認為該計劃在各個部分中均未提及自然環境。例如，關於北部都會區的計劃，並未詳述關於洪災或空氣淨化的內容。
Mainland China does this differently. China puts nature and green ideas into every part of its plans. Hong Kong puts nature in only one chapter. This might make the work harder for different government offices.
中國內地的做法則有所不同。中國將自然與綠色理念融入計劃的每一個部分。而香港僅將自然環境列在一個章節中。這可能會增加不同政府部門在執行工作時的困難。
Conclusion
The government wants more ideas from the public. They want everyone to agree before they publish the plan later this year.
政府希望獲得更多民眾的建議。他們希望在今年稍後公布計劃之前，能達成共識。
Vocabulary Learning
🟢 The 'S' Rule for Actions
Look at how we describe the government and the plan in this text. When we talk about one thing or person, we add an -s to the action word.
- The plan shows... (One plan)
- The government wants... (One government)
- China puts... (One country)
Compare this to many things:
- People give... (Many people = No 's')
- They say... (Many people = No 's')
🛠️ Useful Word Pairs
Notice how the text uses opposites to explain ideas. This is a great way to build A2 sentences:
💡 Quick Note: 'Does not'
To say 'no' for one thing, use does not + action (without the 's'):
- It does not have... (NOT: does not has)
- The plan does not talk... (NOT: does not talks)
