Introduction

A 15-year-old girl had a baby boy at a hospital in New Delhi. She does not want to be the mother of the child.

Main Body

The baby was born early on Saturday. He is very small. Doctors are watching him in a special room to make sure he is healthy. The girl and her parents wrote a letter to the hospital. They said they do not want the baby. Now, an agency is looking for a new family for the child. Before the birth, the girl asked the court to stop the pregnancy. The Supreme Court of India said yes. The court said the girl has the right to choose for her own body.

Conclusion

The girl left the hospital. The baby is still there and will wait for a new family.

πŸ›‘ THE 'DO NOT' PATTERN

In this story, we see a very important way to say "No" or "I don't want this."

The Pattern: Subject + do not + Verb

From the text:

  • She does not want to be the mother. β†’\rightarrow (Note: We use 'does' for one person/she/he)
  • They do not want the baby. β†’\rightarrow (Note: We use 'do' for many people/they)

How to use it for A2: If you want to say you dislike something or refuse something, use this simple building block:

  • I do not like coffee.
  • We do not have a car.
  • He does not speak Spanish.

πŸ•’ TIME WORDS

Look at how the story tells us when things happened. It uses simple markers:

  • Early on Saturday β†’\rightarrow Specific day/time.
  • Now β†’\rightarrow Right this moment.
  • Before β†’\rightarrow An earlier time.

Pro Tip: To move to A2, always start your sentence with the time word to make it clear. *Example: "Now, I am studying English."
