Balloons fly to North Korea – level 1

04-04-2016 15:00

This news is from South Korea. South Korean protesters are at the border of the Koreas. They have three balloons. They launch them. The balloons fly to North Korea.

The balloons carry 50,000 pieces of paper. On each paper, there is text. In the text, the South Koreans write about North Korea. South Korea does not like North Korea’s military provocations. They criticise Kim Jong Un, too.

Difficult words: border (a line between two countries), launch (to send something in the air), military provocation (a situation when a country shows its army and war machines).

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