16-04-2018 07:00

There is a chemical attack in Syria. It happens on April 7th. Forty to sixty people die. Between 500 and 1,000 people need help.

Countries do not agree on who did the attack. The USA and Britain say that Syria did it. Russia says that Britain did the attack.

The USA, the UK and France attack Syria. They say that they bomb buildings with chemical weapons.

Difficult words: agree (if two people agree on something, they think the same), did (past of ‘do’), weapon (a thing for fighting).
