Business with oxygen – level 1
12-05-2021 07:00
The situation with the coronavirus is very serious in India. More than 410,000 people get sick every day. Around 4,000 people die every day.
Some people want to make money from this situation. Four men do business with oxygen. They get fire extinguishers. The tanks have a red color. The men change the color to black. A black color means that oxygen is inside.
The men sell the oxygen tanks on the Internet. The price is very high. The men keep the tanks in a restaurant and bar in New Delhi.
Police come to the restaurant. They find 419 oxygen tanks there. They arrest the men. A similar situation happens in another part of the country. Police arrest three men there.
Difficult words: oxygen (a gas which people breathe), fire extinguisher (a metal device full of water, gas, or other material which firemen use to stop fire), tank (a large metal thing where people keep gas or liquid).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
