Love Fridge – level 1
Millions of people around the world do not have enough food. In 2012, an interesting idea starts in Germany. The idea is for a special fridge. People call it a love fridge.
This fridge is outside. People can bring food in it. Then, other people can take the food. They may need food.
Restaurants and local people cook the meals. People help each other. Many people come for food every day. The fridges are often empty.
In the US, 35 million Americans do not have enough food. Sadly, there is enough food. The food does not get to the people who need it. In 2019, Americans throw away a lot of food. Also, stores in some places do not sell good food.
Difficult words: fridge (kitchen equipment which is cold inside, and people keep food in it), local (people or things which are in one area), empty (with nothing inside).

Love Fridge – level 2
In 2012, community fridges started in Germany, and the idea quickly moved to other countries, too.
A community fridge is in a public space, and people can take food from the fridge if they need it. Also, people can bring food and leave it in the fridge. Some people started to call these fridges love fridges because they brought people together. They showed that many people wanted to help each other.
Last year, around 35 million Americans had problems getting enough food. In 2019, an interesting fact was Americans threw away 35% of all their food. It showed that the problem was not a lack of food, but the problem was in communities where people who needed the food most could not get it.
Difficult words: community (a group of people who live in the same place or who have the same ideas), public (open to or shared by all the people of an area or country), lack (not enough of something).

Love Fridge – level 3
In 2012, community fridges started in Germany, and they grew globally. Their popularity exploded over the pandemic with more than 200, spanning the US from Seattle, Washington, to New York, New York.
More than 13 million US households, or around 35 million Americans, experienced food insecurity sometime in 2020. Generally, the issue wasn´t a lack or shortage of food but how they received it. The love fridge’s goal is to address food insecurity, when members of a community make most of the food. However, local restaurants help prepare nutritious meals, too. Volunteers give these meals, and people in need can take them out from the fridges. People come every day, and that is why the fridges are empty all the time.
Problems with a lack of food are anchored in communities, typically to Black and Hispanic families who live in areas with poorly supplied grocery stores. However, in 2019, 408 billion dollars; worth of food was either uneaten or unsold, which makes 35% of all the prepared food.
Difficult words: span (to extend across an area or period of time), insecurity (when you lack something), anchor (to be the start of something).

New coronavirus variant – level 1
Scientists find a new coronavirus variant. It comes from South Africa.
This is bad news. The new variant is very different from the original virus. Medications stop the original virus. Scientists do not know if they stop the new virus, too. Scientists must learn quickly. Four countries have the new variant. These countries are Israel, Botswana, Hong Kong, and Belgium.
Some countries already ban travel from South Africa and five other African countries. The EU says that it is important to stop travel to South Africa. It can stop the new variant. Then it cannot get to Europe.
Difficult words: variant (something which is a little different from other similar things), original (the first type of a thing), ban (to officially stop something).

The new variant had many changes in its protein, and scientists did not know yet if the vaccines work against it. Some countries already stopped travel from South Africa and five other African countries.
Four countries already reported cases of the new variant. They were Israel, Botswana, Hong Kong, and Belgium. The President of the EU Commission said that European leaders had to do something very quickly.

New coronavirus variant – level 3
Authorities around the world reacted with alarm to a new coronavirus variant detected in South Africa, as researchers worked to establish if the mutation can resist vaccines.
On Friday, the last passengers arrived at London´s Heathrow Airport from South Africa after Britain and other countries stopped flights from there and five neighboring countries. The new coronavirus variant alarmed scientists and world leaders because it has a spike protein that is dramatically different from the original virus that the vaccines are based on.
Belgium reported the first known case in Europe, adding to those in Israel, Botswana, and Hong Kong. The World Health Organization cautioned against hasty travel bans; however, the European Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen said that the EU should act very swiftly, decisively, and as one. She added that all air travel to South African countries should be stopped to limit the movement of the new variant.
Difficult words: mutation (a change in the structure of the genes of an organism), spike protein (a member of the coronavirus family that has sharp bumps known as spikes), hasty (done in a hurry, sometimes without the necessary care or thought).

No US and Australia at Olympics in China – level 1
The 2022 Winter Olympics start in Beijing, China, on February 4. The US boycotts the games. Australia is the second country to boycott.

The US and Australia do not agree with some things that happen in China. They say that China has problems with human rights.
Human rights protect all people in the world. It does not matter if they are men or women. It does not matter where they live. It seems that China does not care about human rights.
Some countries do not know what to do now. They work with the US. They also work with China.

Australia’s prime minister said that the country would boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.
He said that it would be a diplomatic boycott, which meant that athletes would go to China but officials would not. The reasons were mainly reports about human rights abuses in China, and other things, too.
The prime minister said that China did not want to talk about these problems, and the boycott was the only way to show that Australia did not agree with China.
The US was the first country to boycott the Olympics. Some countries were US partners, and they were not sure what to do because the US was an important partner for them. Still, China was their biggest business partner.

Australia will join the US in a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics to protest China´s reported human rights abuses,and people say that this will further worsen the relationship between the two countries.
Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morisson said that Australia had consistently asked China about its human rights abuses and many other issues; however, the Chinese government had not accepted opportunities to meet about them. Therefore, he said, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Australian officials wouldn’t go to China for the Olympics.
Morisson´s choice makes Australia the first major country to follow the US in deciding against sending officials to the spectacle starting on February 4, while both countries will still allow their athletes to go. The US’s diplomatic boycott left many US partners trying to balance the relationship with the US’s security and China’s trade.
Difficult words: boycott (to withdraw from commercial or social work with a country or organization as a punishment or protest), spectacle (an event that attracts attention or interest), diplomatic (the management of relationships between countries).
