In the first one Lisa, an American tourist in London, answers some questions about herself and about her impressions of London.
Some parts of the video may be difficult for Básico 1 students, but not definitely for Básico 2 ones. Anyway, the clip is a good opportunity to revise the structure of basic questions in English at this level.
