Are Planes Safe – level 1

21-12-2020 15:00

This year is difficult for airlines. People cannot travel. Planes do not fly.

Airlines park planes. Sometimes, more than two thirds of planes are on the ground. It is a very big number. It never happens in the past. Planes are starting to fly again. Some people still worry. They are not sure that planes are safe.

Planes need to fly. If they do not fly, they can have many problems. It is possible that their batteries do not work well. Birds and bugs can make nests inside.

Another problem is that pilots stay out of work. They can make mistakes. Many small accidents happen this year. Experts say that pilots need to train. They can fly again after they train.

Difficult words: airline (a company that has planes and takes people and things to different places), bug (a very small animal that lives in a home, in grass or other places), nest (a place where birds and other small animals keep their babies).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
