Problems in the West Bank and East Jerusalem
Introduction
More people are attacking Palestinian Christians and other people. It is now harder for people to move and travel.
Main Body
In East Jerusalem, some people attack Christians. A nun went to the hospital because of an attack. A government minister says spitting on Christians is a tradition. Now, some churches are closed. In the West Bank, there is more fighting. An armed man drove a car into a school. Many students ran away. No one died in that event. Many settlers attack Palestinian land. In April, there were many attacks. Settlers took land and broke farms. This happens even though a world court says these settlements are illegal.
Conclusion
The area is dangerous. People cannot practice their religion freely and settlers continue to take land.

⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how the text describes things happening right now or in the past. To reach A2, you need to see the difference between a general fact and a finished event.
1. The 'Happened' List (Past) These words tell us the action is finished:
- Went → (Past of go)
- Drove → (Past of drive)
- Ran → (Past of run)
- Took → (Past of take)
- Broke → (Past of break)
2. The 'Current' List (Present) These words describe a situation that is true today:
- Is → (Example: "The area is dangerous")
- Are → (Example: "Settlements are illegal")
- Happens → (Example: "This happens")
💡 Simple Rule: If you want to talk about a story (yesterday), use the Past list. If you want to describe a place or a person (today), use the Present list.
