Introduction

Chirayu Rana worked at JPMorgan Chase. He is now suing his boss, Lorna Hajdini. He says she treated him badly because of his race and forced him to have sex.

Main Body

Mr. Rana says Ms. Hajdini used her power to hurt him. He says she gave him drugs and was mean to him. Two other people wrote letters to help him. They say they saw bad things happen. JPMorgan and Ms. Hajdini say these stories are not true. The bank looked for proof but found nothing. The police also looked for proof. They stopped the investigation because they had no evidence. Some people do not believe Mr. Rana. They found a message online. In the message, he asked for help with a similar problem at another job. Also, he lied about a family member's death to get a holiday from work.

Conclusion

The police stopped their work. The case is now only in a civil court. Ms. Hajdini says the stories are lies.

⚡ The "People & Action" Pattern

In this story, we see a simple way to describe who does what. To reach A2, you need to move from simple words to 'Subject + Verb + Object'.

1. The Power Pair (Subject → Action) Look at how the text describes people acting:

  • Chirayu Rana → worked (at the bank)
  • The bank → looked (for proof)
  • The police → stopped (the work)

2. Word Swap: Saying 'No' Notice how the text uses "not" and "no" to change a sentence. This is key for A2 English.

  • NOT + Action: "stories are not true"
  • NO + Thing: "had no evidence"

3. Quick Vocabulary Map

  • Suing →\rightarrow Taking someone to court
  • Proof →\rightarrow Facts that show something is true
  • Investigation →\rightarrow Looking for the truth

💡 Pro Tip: To sound more natural, don't just say "He is bad." Say "He treated him badly." (Person →\rightarrow Action →\rightarrow How).
