Christmas Lights – level 1

17-12-2020 07:00

Sarah Bailey lives in Ohio, US. She puts many Christmas lights on her family house this year. She makes a video of her house. She plays Taylor Swift’s song in the video. Bailey speaks about a food charity in her town in the video.

Taylor Swift is a famous American singer. She sees Bailey’s video on social media. Swift likes the video. She writes to Bailey. Swift gives money to the charity, too.

Bailey is very surprised. She is happy. This year is hard for many people. Bailey wants to make them happy. People can come to her house. They can watch the lights from the sidewalk.

Difficult words: food charity (when people give food to other people who need it), famous (when many people know somebody), sidewalk (a walk at the side of a street).

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