IV. READING
A. Read the blog. Write T (True), F (False), or NG (Not Given) if the information is not in the text.
Most of the time, I write about blizzards, typhoons, floods, and so on. But I don’t ski in a blizzard or get wet in
a flood. Well, this week’s blog is different, because this time I was there when something big happened!
I was on holiday in an area which has earthquakes. I knew that before I went. But the last big earthquake there
happened 50 years ago, so I didn’t really think about it when I booked.
During the first few days, I went swimming every morning in the warm sea and then, in the afternoon, I walked
up the side of the mountain behind the town. I didn’t climb over rocks or anything like that. I just walked slowly
up a few hundred meters of one of the old donkey tracks.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, I was on the mountain when the ground started to move. I remembered about
the earthquakes then, and I thought, ‘The ground will open up and I’ll fall in.’ Then I looked down at the town
and saw a huge wave coming very fast towards it. Houses near the beach disappeared under the water. I was
safe on the side of the mountain, but my hotel fell down and I lost all my stuff.
1. The writer’s blog is usually about bad weather.
2. The writer thought there might be an earthquake while he was there on holiday.
