Socks and the new French president – level 1
13-04-2022 07:00
People in France vote for a new president. A shop sells special socks. The faces of eight candidates are on the socks.
The shop predicts the president. 29% of customers buy socks with the face of Eric Zemmour. He has strong opinions about immigration and Islam. President Emmanuel Macron is next. 24% of customers buy socks with his face.
It is for fun. Nobody really knows who will win.
The socks are in many places. People from all around the world buy them. President Macron is the most popular in Germany. Zemmour socks sell best in Canada.
Difficult words: candidate (a person who people vote for as a leader), predict (to say what will probably happen in the future), immigration (when people come to live to another country).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
