A man helps children in wheelchairs – level 1
15-08-2024 07:00
In Germany, some children, called ‘Roly Kids’ learn to use wheelchairs at a skate park.
They do things like wheelies. They learn to get up if they fall. A man named Matthias Wagner helps them. He uses a wheelchair too. He knows very well that it can be hard at first. He says that when people get their first wheelchair, they often feel confused. They do not know how to do many things. The Roly Kids meet every week to practice and have fun. Matthias tells parents not to worry too much. Children need to learn to do things on their own. The children learn to be strong and independent.
Difficult words: wheelie (a trick on a bike when you raise the front wheel off the ground and keep it in the air), confused (when you do not understand something), independent (when you can do things alone without help).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
