King Salman Visits Indonesia – level 1

07-03-2017 15:00

Saudi Arabia has a king. He is King Salman. He travels to Indonesia. He stays there for 9 days. King Salman is the first Saudi king to visit Indonesia in 50 years.

King Salman does not travel lightly. He brings 500 tons of things with him. Five hundred tons is as much as 200 African elephants. For example, he brings Mercedes-Benz cars and gilded furniture.

King Salman also does not arrive alone. There is a group of 600 people with him. Eight hundred delegates and 25 princes come to Indonesia, too.

Difficult words: gilded (covered in gold), arrive (come somewhere), delegate (a person who represents a country or an organisation).

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