Trading cards – level 1
03-04-2026 15:00
Do you have old Pokémon cards? Well, you may sell them for a lot of money!
In 2026, one man sells a card for 16.5 million dollars. Many adults now buy these cards. They want to be rich. They send their cards to a big office. The office looks at the card and gives it a number. A 10 is a perfect card. It is fun to collect cards, but it is also a game with money. Sometimes the price goes up, and sometimes it goes down. You must be careful! But many people love their cards because they are beautiful and famous. When people look at some cards, they remember the times many years ago.
Difficult words: adult (someone who is not a child anymore), collect (to buy and keep similar things), careful (when you do something and you think a lot about it so nothing goes wrong).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
