Leader’s Health – level 1

27-04-2020 07:00

Kim Jong-un is the leader of North Korea. His family rules North Korea since 1948. Many people think that Kim is not healthy.

Kim is at a meeting about the coronavirus on April 11. The media in South Korea say that Kim has a heart operation on April 12. They do not say any details about the operation.

April 15 is a holiday in North Korea. Kim’s grandfather has a birthday party. Kim is not at the party. The media start to speculate about Kim’s health.

The US is interested in Kim’s health too. North Korea is an important country for the US. The US need to know the truth about Kim.

South Korea officials watch the situation in North Korea. They do not have any information about Kim’s health.

Difficult words: rule (to lead a country), speculate (to have different ideas about what happens and why).

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