🎯 The 'Action-Goal' Pattern

In this text, we see a very common way to talk about future goals using Want + To + Action. This is a key building block for A2 English.

How it works: Person/Group \rightarrow want(s) \rightarrow to \rightarrow do something

Examples from the text:

  • They want to stop the drug problem.
  • They want to stop drugs from entering.
  • They want people to stop using drugs.

💡 Quick Tip for Beginners: When you talk about a dream or a plan, use this simple bridge:

  • I want to learn English.
  • He wants to travel.

⚠️ Note on the word 'Sickness': In the text, "sickness" means a health problem. For A2, remember that Sickness (noun) \rightarrow Sick (adjective).

  • Example: Addiction is a sickness. \rightarrow The person is sick.
