North Korea And Coronavirus – level 1

12-06-2020 15:00

Kim Jong-un is the leader of North Korea. He likes to appear in public. He goes to many meetings and events.

However, recently, he does not appear in public so often. People and media do not know why. Some media say that Kim has a heart operation. Different media say that he can be dead.

Last week, Kim meets with other officials. The meeting is unusual. Kim does not come too close to other people. He keeps away.

It is possible that it is because of the coronavirus. However, nobody is wearing a face mask. The officials speak about business and life in North Korea. They do not speak about the coronavirus.

Officials say that the coronavirus is not in North Korea. However, many people do not believe it.

Difficult words: appear (to be in a place where people can see something or someone), public (around people), media (news on TV, in magazines, on radio, or on the Internet).

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