Man Leaves Antarctica After Threatening Coworkers
Introduction
A South Korean man worked at a science station in Antarctica. He threatened other workers with a knife. He is now back in South Korea.
Main Body
On April 13, a man in his 50s made a knife from metal. He used the knife to scare other people at the station. The station leader put the man in a separate room. No one was hurt. It was winter, so planes could not fly. The man stayed in the separate room for three weeks. Other countries helped to bring him home on May 7. The other workers talked to doctors to feel better. Life in Antarctica is very hard. People stay in one place for a long time. This makes some people angry or sad. Other stations in Russia and Australia had similar problems in the past. Now, doctors want to check people's minds before they go to Antarctica.
Conclusion
The police in South Korea are talking to the man now. The science station is working normally again.
Learning
π Talking About the Past
To tell a story, we change the action word. Most words just need an -ed at the end.
- Work Worked
- Stay Stayed
- Talk Talked
Watch out! Some words are 'rebels' and change completely. You must memorize these:
- Make Made
- Put Put (No change!)
- Go Went (Implicitly used in the context of returning home)
π Geography & People
When we talk about where someone is from, we use specific names. Notice the difference between the Place and the Person:
| Place | Person |
|---|---|
| South Korea | South Korean |
| Russia | Russian |
| Australia | Australian |
Quick Tip: If you see "-an" or "-ian" at the end of a word, it usually describes the person or the language.
