Rat scares people – level 1

18-04-2014 15:00

Here is some news from New York. A person films a scary moment. It shows people on a subway. There is a rat on the train. The people panic.

They jump on their seats. They scream. Soon, a lot of people leave the train.

Difficult words: subway (underground train), panic (to be very scared), seat (place to sit), scream (to make a loud sound when you are scared).

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