Fun skiing event in Siberia – level 1
24-04-2015 15:00
People organise an event in Sibera. The event happens every year. It is for winter sporting. It is an event for fun.
People put on costumes. They ski down a hill. Then they jump into a pool of water. They must slide across the pool.
This year, 111 people try. Only seven people slide to the finish. Others stop in the water.
One boy has a different costume every year. This year, he skies as Spider Man. Next year, he will wear something different.
Difficult words: costume (clothes which make you look like a different person), slide (move on water), will (this means “in the future”).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
