Boat in Thailand – level 1

09-07-2018 07:00

There is a storm in Thailand. Boats are in the storm. They are in 5-metre waves on the sea. One boat overturns. There are 105 people on it. Ninety-three of the people are Chinese tourists. Twelve are Thai crew.

Thirty-eight people die. Eighteen people are missing. People are trying to find them.

Difficult words: overturn (turn over), crew (people who work on a boat), be missing (if you are missing, people do not know if you are alive and where you are).

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