Hurt Service Members – level 1

14-02-2020 15:00

Last month, the US kills an important Iranian general. Iran does not like this. Iran attacks a US military base in Iraq. The US president says that no one at the military base is hurt or killed. Later, he says some of them have “headaches.”

After that, the government says that 64 people are hurt. They have problems with their brain. Recently, the government says that 109 people are hurt. 76 people get help. They go back to work.

Difficult words: general (a military leader), military base (a place where a government’s military does work), headache (when your head hurts).

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