Deadly Elections – level 1

06-05-2019 07:00

Two elections take place in Indonesia. People choose their president in one election. They choose the members of parliament in the second election. Both elections take place on the 17th April.

Around six million people work on the elections. Some of them have too much work. They get very tired and ill. Some of them even die. More than 1,800 people get ill. More than 270 people die.

Difficult words: elections (when people choose the leaders/bosses/laws), member (a person who is part of a group), parliament (a place where all leaders of a country meet and talk).

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