Coronavirus in Europe – level 1

19-10-2020 07:00

Many European countries have problems with the coronavirus. Many new people become sick every day. Governments come up with strict rules. People do not like them.

In spring, some businesses must close because of the coronavirus. A lot of people lose their jobs. The situation happens again now. People are starting to be angry and confused. They do not understand some rules. They do not trust officials.

Pubs, restaurants, and gyms close in many countries. In Madrid, Spain, people can travel in and out of town only for work. The situation is serious. People are very unhappy.

Governments must communicate better. People need to understand what is happening. Countries must get the virus under control. But it is not possible to close all places.

Difficult words: confused (when somebody does not understand something well), trust (to believe), communicate (to give somebody information about something).

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