P16
What do you know about the signs of a natural disaster
Possible answer
Cats, dogs, and other small creatures are known to get anxious and run away moments before an earthquake strikes. These animals are able to sense the preliminary waves signalling an earthquake ahead of the more destructive seismic waves, which humans can’t detect.
What would you do during an earthquake
Possible answer
It is important to stay calm. If I am indoors, I must stay there and wait until the shaking stops. I must find a safe space, such as under a strong table. I must use the stairs and not the lift to get outside safely. If I am outdoors, I must stay away from any buildings or large objects.

Tip
Learning words used as different parts of speech
Many English words can be used as more than one part of speech. For example, water can be used as a noun (drinking water) and a verb (water the flowers). Pay attention to these words and their collocations- remembering how they are used helps you master these words.
There were loud crashes of glass breaking and things falling to the ground, but the students remained still and waited calmly and quietly.
The beach was rapidly cleared of people, just before the huge waves crashed into the coast.
P19

Sentences using different senses

Possible answer
The dancing flames of the forest fire jumped from one tree to the next. The crackling of burning trees reminded me of sitting around a campfire. Staring at the bright yellow-orange flames made me sleepy, but that soon changed when I realized I couldn’t breathe. The strong smell of smoke from the burning landscape irritated my nose as it forced its way into my lungs; I decided to get away before it was too late.
