Introduction

The Welsh government has new rules for childcare workers. They want workers to call the police if children show racist behavior.

Main Body

A group from a university wrote these rules. The government gave them a lot of money. The government wants Wales to stop racism by the year 2030. Workers must write down who was racist. They must call the police if the problem is big. Workers must also check books and food to make sure they are fair to all people. Some people like these rules. They say it helps children. Other people do not like them. They say the police should not watch small children.

Conclusion

The Welsh government will keep using these rules to change society.

The Power of 'MUST'

When you want to say something is a rule or a requirement, we use must. It is a strong word. It means you have no choice.

From the text:

  • Workers must write down... →\rightarrow (It is a rule to write).
  • They must call the police... →\rightarrow (It is a rule to call).
  • Workers must also check books... →\rightarrow (It is a rule to check).

How to use it for A2: Person + must + action

Quick Examples:

  • I must study English. →\rightarrow (I have to do it).
  • You must stop at the red light. →\rightarrow (It is the law).

Simple Opposites

Notice how the text compares two groups of people:

  • Some people like these rules. ↔\leftrightarrow Other people do not like them.

Use this pattern to describe different opinions simply: Some [group] [action] ↔\leftrightarrow Other [group] [opposite action].
