Friends Turned Family – level 2

05-01-2018 07:00

This news is about two men from Hawaii. They met at school 60 years ago and became best friends for life.

They recently started researching their ancestry, and they found out that they have the same birth mother! They were friends all those years but they never knew that they were family.

The brothers told people the news at a party two days before Christmas Day. They say that they have plans to enjoy their retirement together.

Difficult words: research (study, get more information about), ancestry (family), retirement (the time of your life when you are old and do not work).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
