Big Water in Greece – level 2

20-11-2017 07:00

At least 15 people died in flash floods on the outskirts of Athens, Greece. Many of them were elderly people. More than 37 people went to hospital and some are still missing.

Some people are mad at the local government. One woman said that no one made sure that people were fine or that they had drinking water.

Difficult words: flash floods (a lot of water which comes quickly and without warning), outskirts (the outer parts of a city), government (the leaders of a country).

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