Marilia Mendonça is a Brazilian singer. She is 26 years old. She has a two-year-old son. Mendonça is very popular in Brazil. Her songs are about women and their problems.

Mendonça has online concerts during the coronavirus. 3.3 million people watch one live concert. It is the highest number ever.

Mendonça dies last weekend. She travels to her concert. She travels by plane. Then, the plane crashes in the mountains. It crashes only 11 kilometers from her destination.

Four people are on the plane. They are the singer, her uncle, and the crew. They all die.

Difficult words: live (when people watch a concert or show at the time when it is happening), destination (a place where somebody travels, crew (the people who work together on a plane or ship).

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