Introduction

The United Nations and the Lebanese government say many people are very hungry.

Main Body

Many people have no food because of war and money problems. Between April and August, 1.24 million people will not have enough to eat. Before the war, this number was 874,000. Fighting started in March. Farmers cannot grow food now. This makes the problem worse. More than one million people left their homes. More than 2,500 people died. Soldiers still fight in the south of Lebanon.

Conclusion

People need more food and help now. If they do not get help, more people will be hungry.

🧩 The 'More' Pattern

In this text, we see a pattern to describe things that are increasing. This is very useful for A2 learners to describe changes.

1. Comparing Now vs. Then

  • Before: 874,000 people
  • Now: 1.24 million people
  • Result: More people are hungry.

2. How to use it When something increases, just put More before the noun:

  • More food →\rightarrow (Extra food)
  • More people →\rightarrow (A bigger group)
  • More help →\rightarrow (Additional support)

3. Quick Look: The 'No' Rule Notice how the text uses "No" to mean zero. It is simpler than saying "do not have any."

  • "Have no food" →\rightarrow Zero food.
  • "No help" →\rightarrow Zero help.
