Big event in North Korea – level 1

17-07-2014 15:00

Kim Jong Un is the leader of North Korea. His grandfather was Kim Il Sung. The grandfather died twenty years ago. North Koreans celebrate the anniversary of his death.

Kim Jong Un is at the event. He walks on stage with a limp. We don’t know why.

North Koreans highly control the media. Kim Il Sung had a growth on his neck. People filmed him, but no one could see the growth. They filmed him only from some angles.

Difficult words: anniversary (date on which something special happened in the past), limp (he cannot walk easily), growth (formation of the body which is not normal), angle (the direction from which you look at something).

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

Is North Korea a danger to the world?
