Michelle Obama is Barack Obama’s wife. She is called the First Lady. Donald Trump is going to be the new president. Michelle Obama gives her last interview as the First Lady.

She talks about her husband. She says that he is like the nation’s parent. When something bad happens, he says that it is going to be OK.

She gives an example with a toddler and its parents. Americans are like children, and Obama is the parent. If Obama is calm, Americans can be calm, too.

Difficult words: is going to (in the future), nation (the people of a country), toddler (a small child who is learning to walk).
