New Zealand Volcano – level 1

18-12-2019 15:00

On Monday, a volcano erupts in New Zealand. There are 47 people near the volcano when it erupts. 8 people die. Many people have serious burns on their skin.

Rescuers want to find the dead bodies. They want to get them back to their families. However, it is very dangerous to recover the bodies. Scientists worry that the volcano can erupt again soon. The danger is very high. The rescuers must think carefully about their work. They must consider the situation on the island and the weather, too.

Difficult words: erupt (to become active and produce gas and lava), recover (to get back), consider (to think about something a lot).

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