Exercise four. Page eighteen.

Dialogue A.

Speaker 1: There's a documentary on the two thousand and four Indian Ocean disaster on TV. Do you want to watch it?

Speaker 2: I remember that. It was terrible. Thousands of lives lost underwater.

Speaker 1: Oh, I know. The quake caused a wave as high as thirty metres in some areas.

Speaker 2: Can you imagine? Just sitting on the beach and seeing this giant wall of water coming fast towards you.

Speaker 1: Oh, I don't even want to think about it.

Dialogue B.

Speaker 1: Are you still going on the ski trip next week?

Speaker 2: No, it's been cancelled.

Speaker 1: How come?

Speaker 2: Haven't you heard? The whole village, ski resort included, is now buried under snow.

Speaker 1: That's right. I remember hearing something on the news a couple of days ago.

Speaker 2: There was a group of skiers going down the slope and were buried under the snow for hours before the rescue teams found them.

Speaker 1: How terrible for them. Skiing happily one minute, and then literally being chased by a huge mass of snow the next.

Speaker 2: It is scary, isn't it? Luckily, their story had a happy ending.

Dialogue C.

Ben: Hello?

Sara: Ben, are you all right? Susan called me and told me what happened.

Ben: Hi, Sara. Don't worry, we're all okay. A lot of water damage in the house though, carpets, furniture, some appliances. We need to replace them.

Sara: Susan said the water was flowing in fast and it was up to your knees in no time.

Ben: Yeah, that was scary. I mean it had been raining for days non-stop, but we never expected anything like this to happen.

Sara: The river overflowed, right?

Ben: That's right. I suppose the authorities weren't prepared for something like this, which would explain why our little town turned into a giant swimming pool.

Dialogue D.

Speaker 1: Finally, you're here. What took you so long?

Speaker 2: We had to take a long detour. The road was closed.

Speaker 1: Was it? What happened?

Speaker 2: Apparently, last night's tremor, caused the side of the mountain to collapse.

Speaker 1: Oh, no! Was anyone hurt?

Speaker 2: Luckily, no, but there was damage to some houses and there was an enormous pile of dirt and rocks blocking the main road.

Speaker 1: I hope they clear it up soon. That's the main road into town.

Speaker 2: They've started to, but it's going to take a while from what they said.
