Chuck Norris, the famous action star, died at the age of 86. He was in Hawaii with his family when he had a medical problem. He was very strong and healthy. Only a few days before, he had a birthday and spent time training.

His family is very sad but says he was at peace. People all over the world know him from his TV show Walker, Texas Ranger, and many movies. Before he was an actor, he was in the military and became a champion in karate. He was a black belt in seven different martial arts.

Chuck Norris was more than just a fighter; he was a kind father and grandfather. People will remember him as an American hero and a strong man.

Difficult words: at peace (a calm and quiet feeling without pain or worry), martial arts (fighting like karate, judo, or kug-fu), hero (a strong and great person).

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