Animal Window Cleaners – level 2

21-12-2016 15:00

Every year in Japan has an animal symbol. The year 2016 was the year of the monkey and the year 2017 is the year of the rooster. Another tradition in Japan is people cleaning their houses in December because they want to start the New Year fresh.

Two window cleaners from Tokyo know about this and they decide to dress up as a monkey and a rooster. They clean the windows of a Tokyo hotel 50 metres above the ground in their costumes. They surprise the hotel guests.

Difficult words: rooster (the rooster is the male chicken), fresh (clean and organised), costume (a set of special clothes which make you look like something else).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
