Museum on Fire – level 1

10-09-2018 15:00

This is not good news. The Museum of Brazil is on fire. More than 20,000 items are lost. The museum is 200 years old. It is important for Brazil. Brazil’s president says that this is a sad day.

We do not know how the fire starts. However, the building was old. It was not in a good state.

Difficult words: item (a thing, usually a special one), was (past of ‘is’), state (a situation; in this story, the museum was not good).

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