Museum on Fire – level 2

10-09-2018 15:00

A massive fire tore thought the Museum of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro last Sunday. The museum is 200 years old, and it lost more than 20,000 items.

Firefighters worked through the night to bring the fire under control. We do not know how the fire began. However, the building was old and not in a good state. Brazil’s president said that this was a sad day for all Brazilians.

Difficult words: tear (destroy, move though quickly), item (a thing, usually a special one).

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