World’s Oldest Panda – level 1

This news is about a panda. She lives in Hong Kong. She is 38 years old. That is around 114 in human years.

The panda becomes ill. She cannot walk well. She sleeps a lot. She does not eat or drink much. She is dying. Her owners put her down.

Pandas were endangered. People are trying to help pandas. Their situation is getting better.

Difficult words: owner (somebody who owns something), put down (kill an ill or hurt animal), were (past of “are”), endangered (in danger of dying out).
