🌍 Report on a Natural Disaster 🌪️
Imagine you are a reporter interviewing someone who experienced a natural disaster. Use the following questions to guide your interview and create a short paragraph describing the scene. Focus on using the past simple and past progressive to explain what happened. Be as creative as possible!
Questions to Guide Your Writing:
What happened?
What were people doing when it occurred?
How long did it last?
What did people do during and after the disaster?
How did they feel?
Your Task:
Write a short paragraph (5–8 sentences) describing a natural disaster scene based on your interview. Include specific details about what people were doing before, during, and after the event. Use vivid vocabulary and make your scene realistic or creative.
Example:
"It was a calm evening, and families were having dinner at home when the tornado sirens suddenly went off. Many people were watching TV or talking with their loved ones when the wind began to roar. The tornado ripped through the neighborhood, destroying rooftops and flipping cars. As the storm passed, people emerged from their homes, shocked but grateful to be alive. The scene was devastating, but neighbors worked together to clean up the debris."
