Car is stolen in 30 seconds – level 1

24-10-2014 07:00

This happens in China. A man is at a petrol station. A staff member puts fuel in his car. The man walks away to pay. The key is still in the car.

He comes back 30 seconds later. His car is gone! A 19 year-old man took it. A security camera filmed him. Police catch him in four days.

Difficult words: petrol station (place where you buy fuel for your car), staff member (somebody who works somewhere), fuel (energy for the car).

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