(Show the following steps on the screen. )
I was in a hotel near the beach. It had been very windy for a few hours and it had rained for two days. Suddenly, the wind became much stronger. There were some trees across the road near the beach and they began to move from side to side. The hotel manager said that we had to stay in the hotel because this was the start of a hurricane. We closed all the windows and stayed in our rooms. The hurricane lasted for two days. It was terrifying.
(Give students 15 minutes to write about a violent natural event and then ask a few good ones to read their own to the class. )
Sample:
Describe an unusual experience in an earthquake.
A sample:
I’ll never forget it to my dying day. I hope I never see anything like that again. It was terrible. Well, we always get up, Jack and me, at about quarter to five. He has to milk the cows early, you see, and while he’s doing that I make his breakfast. I was in the kitchen when it came. Suddenly the whole house was moving. The coffee pot flew through the window , and I was on my back on the kitchen floor. The noise was terrible. Well, I knew what I had to do. You have to get outside, you know, it’s safer there. So I ran through the house and opened the front door. Then I stopped—I couldn’t believe it—everything was different , everything had changed, nothing was in the right place any more. You know outside our house there is a path to the gate—there was I should say—well, the path wasn’t there any more. In front of the front door was our rose garden, not the path! And next to the rose garden were the eucalyptus trees, and behind them was the raspberry patch—just as before, but they had all moved, moved about five metres to the left, to the south that is. On each side of the garden path we had a line of beautiful old cypress trees. Well these had now moved right down to the end of the house, to the left again that is. And the path had completely disappeared.
