Bridge in Italy – level 1

17-08-2018 07:00

A tragedy happens in Genoa, Italy. A part of a bridge falls down. Many people are on the bridge when it falls. The cars and people fall 45 metres down.

Firefighters work day and night. They save many people. Thirty-eight people die. There are pictures of the bridge before the fall. The bridge did not look good. It did not look safe.

Difficult words: tragedy (something very bad or sad), the fall noun (the time when something is falling), didn’t (past of ‘does not’).

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