Step 1 Listen and Take Notes

M: Hi, I’m Mike. I’m on the scene of a large fire at the corner of Victoria and Fifth Street. The strong wind turned a small trash fire into a big fire. The flames quickly reached an apartment building at 4098 Victoria Street. Fortunately, firefighters arrived on the scene quickly, and they think everyone is safely outside. However, the firefighters are trying to go inside the building to check whether there are any people left inside. Back to you, Nick, at

the news desk.

W: You don’t look happy, Jack. What’s the matter?

M: Our family camping trip was a disaster!

W: A disaster? What happened?

M: We left home for the campsite at 7 in the morning. When we got there, it started to rain. The rain got heavier, and we went to a nature museum near the campsite at 10 a.m. to get out of the rain.

W: Oh, it must have been terrible!

M: Yes, it was. But it got sunny, and we went back to the campsite. We had lunch around 1 in the afternoon.

W: What strange weather!

M: Well, when we just finished lunch around 2, the sky suddenly got dark and it became very windy. We had no choice but to come back home.

Window to Reading               p. 156

1. W: Have you ever heard of a tsunami? Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning “harbor wave.” It is produced by earthquakes occurring near the ocean floor.

Build Your Ideas                 p. 162

1. W: Tsunamis are sometimes incorrectly called “tidal waves.” However, tsunamis are not caused by tides. They are produced by earthquakes occurring below or near the ocean floor. A tsunami wave travels rapidly up to 800 kilometers per hour. Its height may increase to more than 100 feet when it reaches shallow water.

1. W: What’s the matter? You look tired.

W: You’re kidding!

M: Hmm, I really should get an electrician to rewire the place.

W: I think you should.
