Anti-Valentine’s Day protest – level 1

19-02-2015 07:00

This news is about Valentine’s Day. Do you like it? Well, some people do not. One group in India protests against it.

Some men ride on motorbikes. They stop when they see a couple. They harass the couple.

The protesters also organise a wedding. It is a wedding between two dogs.

Difficult words: protest (to show that you don’t like something), couple (two people who like or love each other), harass (to make someone feel bad), wedding (an event when two people marry – say that they love each other very much and become man and wife).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

What do you think about this protest? Is it appropriate?
