Dam in Brazil – level 1
31-01-2019 07:00
There is some bad news from Brazil. A dam bursts there. An area goes under dirty water. The water kills people. It destroys their homes.
More than 40 people die. Hundreds of people are missing. There is not much hope for the missing people.
This is not the first time that a dam bursts. This happens in 2015, too. That time, nineteen people die.
Difficult words: dam (a wall which holds water and forms a lake), burst (break open), be missing (when you are missing, people do not know if you are alive and OK).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
