Learning
💡 The "Too Much" Pattern
In the text, we see "too many candidates" and "too high."
When we use TOO, it means a problem. It is not just 'a lot'; it is 'more than we want'.
-
Too many → Use this for things you can count (1, 2, 3...)
- Example: Too many candidates → Too many cars → Too many books.
-
Too [Adjective] → Use this for a feeling or a price.
- Example: Too high → Too expensive → Too hot.
🛠️ Action Words for Change
Look at how the text describes Steve Hilton:
- Wants to change
- Wants to fix
Pattern: Want to + Action
If you have a dream or a goal, use this:
- I want to learn English.
- I want to travel.
Quick Tip: Just add the action word after 'want to' to tell people your goals! → I want to study.
