Fireworks factory explodes – level 1
12-01-2015 15:00
There is a fireworks factory in Colombia. Some gunpowder gets on fire in the factory. The factory explodes and burns.
There is a road near the factory. A man stands on it. He has a camera. He films when the factory explodes. The explosion throws him in the air, but he is OK.
Firefighters come. They must control the fire. It takes them 6 hours.
Difficult words: fireworks (a thing which explodes with loud noises and makes colourful lights), gunpowder (a thing which can explode and looks like sand), burn (to be on fire).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
