The Ambani wedding – level 1
18-07-2024 07:00
The son of Asia’s richest man is getting married in Mumbai, India.
Anant Ambani is 29 years old. He is marrying Radhika Merchant. She is the daughter of another rich man. The Ambani family lives in a skyscraper. The building costs 5 billion dollars.
Big celebrations last several months before the wedding. The wedding lasts four days. It costs from 300 to 600 million dollars. Many famous people are coming to the wedding. Some people think it is good for the economy and shows Indian artists to the world. But many people are unhappy because many in India are poor. It is not good to spend so much money on a wedding.
Difficult words: skyscraper (a very tall building), celebration (a special event when many people are happy), wedding (an event where two people get married).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
