Woman drives into a river – level 1
09-12-2014 07:00
A woman in China drives a car. She loses control of it. She suddenly swerves left. She drives her car into a river. A security camera films the moment.
Some people see the accident. They want to help her. One person has a jumper. They use it as a rope. The woman holds the jumper and people pull her out. The car goes under water.
The woman is fine. Later, people move her car from the river.
Difficult words: suddenly (when something happens quickly and surprises you), swerve (to change direction quickly), rope (a line).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
