Japanese Emperor – level 1

The Japanese Emperor is over 80 years old. He is the Emperor since 1989.

He speaks to the people. He says that he is old. He wishes to abdicate. The Japanese people understand.

However, this is not easy. Japanese emperors cannot abdicate. They must serve until they die. Japan has to make new rules. Then he can abdicate.

Difficult words: emperor (a king), wish (want), abdicate (stop working).
