Dead whales in England – level 1

05-02-2016 15:00

In England, five whales get on beaches. The whales die. People write “Man’s Fault” on of the whales. “Man’s Fault” means that the whale is dead because of people.

People write “CND” on another whale. This means “Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament”.

We do not know why the whales got on the beaches. Experts look at the whales. They try to find out more.

Difficult words: whale (a very big animal which lives in the sea), Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (a group that does not want nuclear bombs), find out (to get to know).

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

Why are the whales dead? What do you think?
