LINES in shell programming

my script.
My program is called match. Also file 1.txt contains
Code:
apple orange juice
table chair cup

Code:
#!/bin/sh
program=$1
while read a b
do
if ["$a"="$program"]
then
echo a
fi
done<1.txt

I type MATCH APPLE. It has to compare "apple" with first token of each line of file 1.txt. If they are the same than print WHOLE LINE. In my example it has to be "apple orange juice". But my code does not work properly. Not sure what is wrong. Help me please.
