Introduction

The Oscar awards have new rules. They have new rules about AI and films from other countries.

Main Body

The Oscars want real people to make movies. AI cannot write the stories or act in the films. People must agree to be in the movies. This helps workers keep their jobs. Now, one country can send more than one movie. Before, they could only send one. Now, a country can send more movies if they win big prizes at famous festivals. Some movie makers are happy. They say more movies can enter now. Other people are not happy. They say it is still hard for some movies to enter.

Conclusion

The new rules protect human artists and help more countries.

🟒 The Power of "CAN" and "CANNOT"

In this text, we see how to talk about rules (what is allowed and what is forbidden).

The Pattern:

  • Positive (Yes): Subject + can + action β†’\rightarrow "One country can send more than one movie."
  • Negative (No): Subject + cannot + action β†’\rightarrow "AI cannot write the stories."

Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of using complex words like "permitted" or "prohibited," you can use can/cannot for almost everything in daily life.

Quick Examples from the text:

  • βœ“\checkmark Can (Possible): "More movies can enter now."
  • Γ—\times Cannot (Impossible): "AI cannot... act in the films."
