Oldest Men in Britain – level 1
12-04-2018 07:00
In Britain, two men turn 110 years old. They set the record for the oldest men in Britain. One man is from Scotland. The other man lives in southern England. The men talk on the phone on their birthdays.
One man was a farmer. In his life, there were many changes in farming. He talks about the changes. He also tells people his secret for long life: eating porridge every day!
The other man talks about his life, too. His life was always interesting. It was not his ambition to live this long.
Difficult words: was (past of ‘is’), porridge (a cereal, oatmeal which people usually eat for breakfast), ambition (plan, something that you want to do).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
