Car is stolen in 30 seconds – level 2
24-10-2014 07:00
A security camera filmed a theft at a petrol station in China. The station staff member finished refuelling the black car, and the driver left for the cashier desk. His key was still in the vehicle.
Thirty seconds later, when he came back, the car was gone. A 19-year-old man stole it. Police caught the man four days later while he was at a restaurant. He had parked the stolen car outside.
Difficult words: theft (the crime of stealing), staff (a person or all the people employed somewhere).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
