Microsoft and US Government – level 1

01-11-2019 15:00

Technology companies compete. They work on a cloud system. It is for the US government.

The US government has old computers. They are from the 1980s and 1990s. People want new computers.

Amazon and Microsoft are two companies that compete. People think that Amazon can win. However, President Trump says comments against the boss of Amazon.

Microsoft wins the competition. Microsoft and the US government can work together for 10 years. The US government can pay Microsoft $10 billion.

Difficult words: compete (to try to be the best), cloud system (a program that keeps information on the Internet), competition (when people or groups try to be the best).

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