North Korean leader and his wife – level 2

23-05-2014 07:00

Kim Jong Un and his wife arrived at a flight combat contest. The couple watched the country’s air force firing targets on the ground.

North Korea wants to show the world that it is a powerful country. North Korea also threatens to carry out a nuclear test. Other countries worry that this country may be on its way to a nuclear arsenal.

Difficult words: threaten (to say that you will do something bad), arsenal (group of weapons).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Do you have a strong leader in your country?
