Reporter in Iraq – level 1

21-08-2014 15:00

This happens in Iraq. A Kurdish reporter goes on a bridge. He wants to talk to men of the Islamic State. Their territory is on the other side of the bridge. The reporter stops in the middle of the bridge. He puts his hands up. The men can see that he does not have a gun.

Difficult words: reporter (person who works for a TV station), territory (area).

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

Is there a way of improving the situation in the Middle East?
