Mall on Fire in Russia – level 1

02-04-2018 07:00

Kemerovo is a city in Russia. A mall there is on fire. There are many children in the mall.

People try to run away but they cannot. The emergency exits are locked. This must not happen. It is against regulations.

Sixty-four people die in the fire. Forty-one of them are children.

The mall owners are in trouble. Police arrest them. People are angry that so many people died. They protest.

Difficult words: mall (shopping centre), emergency exit (a door people can use when they are in danger), regulations (a document which says what malls must be like to be safe), owner (a person who owns – has something).

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