Last week, gas stations across the UK started to run out of petrol or gas. The situation caused chaos in the country, as drivers waited in long lines before gas stations for hours.

(Minggu lalu, SPBU di Inggris mulai kehabisan BBM. Situasi ini menyebabkan kepanikan di negeri ini, saat para pengendara menunggu selama berjam-jam dalam antrian panjang di SPBU.)

The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the problem was there were not enough truck drivers. Many truck drivers before were not British, and after Brexit, it was more difficult for them to go to the UK. The government said that it would give visas to foreign truck drivers. Johnson said that it was not the best solution for the economy.

(Perdana Menteri Inggris Boris Johnson mengatakan bahwa masalah ini terjadi karena kurangnya pengemudi truk. Sebelumnya banyak pengemudi truk yang bukan warga Inggris, dan setelah Brexit, semakin sulit bagi mereka untuk masuk ke Inggris.)

The government agreed to use petrol reserves because many gas stations had no petrol. Also, soldiers were ready to drive trucks if the situation was even worse. Experts said that it could take weeks before the situation gets back to normal.

(Pemerintah setuju untuk memakai BBM cadangan karena banyak SPBU yang kehabisan BBM. Para tentara juga bersiap-siap untuk mengendarai truk jika situasi semakin memburuk. Para ahli berkata bahwa mungkin dibutuhkan berminggu-minggu agar situasi kembali normal.)

Kata-kata sulit: run out (kehabisan), chaos (panik), visa (visa), reserve (cadangan).
