disaster past sentence
Listen to the text. Read and translate the text. Disasters
Good evening. Our program tonight is about disasters. This year there have been fires, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. All our guests tonight have survived disasters.
Susan Fisher: Hello. I'm Susan Fisher and I live in Chicago. I was working in my office in the 28th floor of a skyscraper. I was dictating some letters to my secretary when the fire alarm rang. I rushed out to the elevator but it wasn't working. The stairs were full of thick smoke. We couldn't go down, so we had to go up to the roof. When we got there, some people were waiting calmly. Others were screaming and shouting wildly. A helicopter managed to land on the roof and rescued us before the roof collapsed.
Linda Reed: I was on vacation on Patapita, a small island in the South Pacific. I was sleeping when the volcano erupted. The noise woke me up. I looked out of the window. Everybody was running toward the harbor. I got dressed and ran to the harbor too. I managed to get on a cruise ship. It was leaving when the lava hit town.
Richard Phillips: My wife and I were staying with friends in Los Angeles. We were having dinner when the earthquake began. Everything shook and all the plates and food fell on the floor. We were picking everything up when the ceiling fell in. Fortunately, were under the table and survived. We had to wait for hours before help arrived.
