Hi Luke,

Did you watch that program about natural disasters last night? It was excellent! I was a bit bored at the beginning because the first disaster was snow coming down a mountainside. I’m not sure that (35) ________ are really disasters, but they are horrible for skiers.

After the first break, there was a sad story about a (36) ________ in a part of India. It didn’t rain for nine months, and there was no water in any of the lakes or rivers. All the food plants died, and people brought things into the area by truck every day.

Next, we had a story about a kind of storm. It turns very fast over water and sometimes causes a lot of damage when it goes over land. It’s called a (37) _________.

There’s another program next week about other natural disasters, but this program ended with some advice. The presenter said people need to be ready, but that is strange, because he also said there is often no (38) ________ that a natural disaster will happen.

Next week, we will learn about the (39) ________ of natural disasters, which will be very interesting. Do you want to come and watch it with me?

Best wishes,

Chris
