 News in level 3 

Exercise your reading and speaking skills. This level 3 activity is amazing!

Hikaru Cho, a Chinese national living in Japan made some surreal stop-motion films, and their inspiration came from a strange place.

She said that she was at home and wanted to paint something, but did not know what to paint on. Then she thought to paint an eye onto her hand. She felt that it looked freaky, so she took a picture of it and found that it shocked others more than she expected.

She added that people tend to judge people based on appearances, and she thinks that it is stupid. She wants her to work to show that all is not what it seems on the surface.

Hikaru’s social conscience is clear, and both Amnesty International and lucrative advertising deals are interested in her work.

Difficult words: 

national (a citizen of a particular country), 

surreal (strange, difficult to understand, and like from a dream), 

stop-motion film (a film made by taking a lot of still pictures and then playing them fast), 

freaky (shocking), 

tend (to be inclined to do something), 

conscience (a person’s moral sense of right and wrong), 

lucrative (money-producing).

                                      EU’s first gay president

Edgars Rinkevics is the new president of Latvia. This is important because he is the first gay president in the EU.

The president’s job is mostly for official events. But he can also say no to laws and ask people to vote on things. Rinkevics openly tells people that he is gay in 2014. He always says LGBT people should have the same rights as anybody else. Gay people cannot marry in Latvia. But they can legally live together.

Rinkevics says that he will help Ukraine in its war against Russia. He also says that people in Latvia are not all the same. He wants to make things better for everyone.

Difficult words: 

gay (a man who likes men), 

LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people), 

legally (possible by the rules of a country).
