Applause for Spanish Workers – level 1

30-03-2020 07:00

Spain is a large country in southern Europe. Many people in Spain have coronavirus. The situation is very serious. Hundreds of people die every day. Doctors and emergency workers work very hard. Hospitals are full of sick people.

People in Spain must stay at home. They cannot go out for two weeks. They can go buy food and drugs. On Saturday, people in the capital city, Madrid, stand on their balconies. They applaud doctors and medical workers for their work.

Every evening, medical workers, police officers, and bus drivers meet in front of a hospital in Madrid. They applaud each other. They support each other. They pay tribute to the dead people.

Difficult words: applaud (to clap your hands), support (to agree and to help with something), tribute (when people like something or somebody and they show it officially).

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