IV. Speaking Out
MODEL 1 It was a strong earthquake
Amy: Bill, it was a strong earthquake! The house was shaking, the window breaking! Terrible.
Bill: I know, it was terrible. I saw your face turn whit 1 as you ran and got under the table.
Amy: I admit I panicked. But it wasn’t an occasion 2 for us to be careless. It’s better to be cautious 3. There might be aftershocks.
Bill: Or an even bigger quake!
Amy: To play it safe, let’s turn off the gas and electricity.
Bill: Right. Let’s get the emergency earthquake kit 4 already. It’s in the kitchen. It has food, flashlights, and a first-aid kit.
Amy: Let’s turn on the radio for news. I guess the quake measures at least 5 on the Richter Scale.
Bill: Who know what might happen tomorrow, next month or next year? After all, this city is said to be located in an earthquake zone
Amy: There hasn’t been much activity for dozens of years
Bill: But a major quake may hit at any time.
Amy: I think we’d better move to an earthquake-proof house.
Bill: Smart thinking!
