Family Meets Bear – level 1

29-08-2024 15:00

A family makes a trip to the mountains. The mountains are in Italy. The family is having a picnic. A boy is playing in the bushes. The boy’s name is Alessandro. He is 12 years old.

Alessandro’s father is filming the boy on his phone. Suddenly, a bear appears behind the boy. The bear starts to come closer to the boy. Alessandro slowly walks away from the bear. The bear follows the boy.

Alessandro’s mother is very scared. The boy tells her to stay calm. The boy loves nature. He knows a lot of information. He knows that he must not look in the bear’s eyes.

The boy gets to his parents. The bear goes away. Alessandro is excited about the bear. He says that he is the happiest child in the world.

Difficult words: bush (a plant that looks like a small tree, and it often grows in mountains), appear (to show up), excited (when someone feels very happy about something).

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

What does Alessandro know he must not do when encountering a bear?
