A. The tornado last year was one the scariest things in my life. The sky turned a very strange colour, it was brown, yellow, gray, blue, and even green. It is scary because you never see the sky turns green. And the clouds were black. The wind suddenly started blowing so strong! Then there was a loud sound, like a train was coming. It lasted about 30 seconds, and then a few minutes later, the sky turned blue and the wind stopped blowing.

B. There has been no rain for months now in many parts of the island. This summer has been hotter than usual with record temperatures. No rain means no grass. No grass means animals have no food. There are cracks in ground in some places. Farmers are worried about how to feed their animals. Besides, fire has been a problem in many places this summer, too. Some rivers have dried up, and it's hard to fight fires.

C. Bluefin tuna is the largest tuna and can live up to 40 years. However, it may soon disappear from earth. The population of Bluefin tuna has become smaller because of too much fishing and a lot of illegal fishing. International eco organizations say illegal fishing has already destroyed the fish in the Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans. They say we all should take measures to preserve the tuna.

D. Earthquakes are unpredictable. So it is important to know what to do when it happens, and react quickly and safely. The most important thing is to stay calm and not panic. If you are inside a building, don't go out. You should hide under a heavy desk or table far from windows. If you are outdoors, go to an open area away from buildings. The most dangerous place is near walls.
