Man in a hot hot-air balloon – level 1
A man is brave. He likes to do risky things. He climbs Mount Everest. He goes 16,000 kilometers across the Pacific Ocean.
Now he wants to beat a world record. He wants to fly around the world. He will do it solo in a hot-air balloon. He must fly around the world in less than 13 and a half days. Then he can beat the record.
His wife says that flying in a balloon solo is important for him. It is his childhood dream.
Difficult words: risky (not safe), solo (alone), childhood dream (something that a person wanted to do from when he or she was a child).
