Short learning excerpts adapted from a public lesson sourced from The Guardian. View source

Serbian excerpt

Европски лидери се не слажу око Русије. (Evropski lideri se ne slažu oko Rusije.) Неки лидери причају са Путином телефоном. (Neki lideri pričaju sa Putinom telefonom.) Лидери из Финске и Норвешке су га звали. (Lideri iz Finske i Norveške su ga zvali.) Данска и Шведска мисле да је то лоше.…

Support excerpt

Европейские лидеры не согласны по поводу России. Некоторые лидеры разговаривают с Путиным по телефону. Лидеры из Финляндии и Норвегии позвонили ему. Дания и Швеция думают, что это плохо. Этот разговор длился девяносто минут. У Европы нет единого плана для Москвы. Теперь у лидеров разные каналы. Это создает большие проблемы в Европе.

Teacher / self-study answer guidance

Accept answers that accurately identify the central idea, use a short supporting detail, and explain a reasonable inference. Wording may vary. Check the full interactive lesson and original source when context is unclear; this bounded excerpt is practice material, not a complete news report.
