USA and Cuba – level 1

21-08-2015 07:00

The USA and Cuba were enemies. There was no diplomacy between them. Now, the situation is changing.

The two countries renew the diplomacy between them. John Kerry is an American leader. He talks with other countries. He comes to Cuba. He visits the American embassy in Cuba. He talks about the new situation. People are happy about this.

In the past, there was no American flag at the embassy. Now, people put it back.

Difficult words: were/was (past of are/is), enemy (not a friend), diplomacy (an official place for two countries to talk), embassy (a building with people from a different country; these people speak for their country).

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

Do you think that this is good for Cuba and the USA?
