Reporter:
Savage
R: I’m standing in the centre of “Plymouth, the capital of Montserrat, where just one week ago, a volcanic eruption took place. With me is Frank Savage, the governor of the island. Mr. Savage, thank you for talking to us.
S: You’re welcome.
R: What exactly happened last week
S: Well, the volcano erupted, and ash and lava poured down the mountain towards the sea. Unfortunately, there are several villages in its path.
R: That’s terrible. Was anybody hurt
S: No. Luckily, we had plenty of warning and I told people who lived in the path of the ash and lava to leave the island. We managed to get half the population to another island before the eruption took place.
R: Why are you still here
S: Well, I’m still working because there’s a lot to do.
R: How many people live on the island
S: Eleven thousand people live here and about six thousand people have left.
R: Which areas are the most dangerous
S: Well, the most dangerous places are between the volcano and the sea. There are a lot of villages there. And it was very dangerous. Sadly, hundreds of houses caught fire when the lava reached them.
R: Are the houses still on fire
S: No. Fortunately, we put all the fires out quite quickly.
R: That’s very good news. Well, it’s a beautiful sunny day here in Plymouth. Does this mean that the danger is over
S: No! the volcano could erupt again! People must understand that it is still very dangerous, and they can’t go back to their houses.
R: Oh, I’m very sorry to hear that.
S: Thankfully, no one was killed.
R: Ok-so that’s the message from the governor-don’t go back to your houses. When will people be able to return home
S: We don’t know at the moment. Hopefully, it won’t be too long.
R: Thank you for your time, Mr. Savage.
S: Thank you.

Choose one story as your group story and present it to the class.
The ship was the Birkenhead, a steam-powered troopship transporting British troops to South Africa. On 26 February, 1852, the ship hit an uncharted rock while rounding the Cape of Good Hope.
There were about six hundred and eighty on board,of whom fifty were women and children. The remainders were soldiers and officers of the 74th Highlanders, led by Major Alexander Sexton. In addition,the ship was loaded with horses.
The collision(碰撞)had already caused dozens of the troops to drown as they slept below the deck. Major Sexton ordered the survivors on deck, and in one of the more remarkable displays of courage seen, the soldiers stood silently to attention as the women and children were loaded into the life-boats.
The ship was sinking rapidly and leaning, but they continued to stand until all the women and horses were driven over-board to give them a chance. Only then, at the order from Major Sexton, did they break ranks and try to save their own lives. But the ship broke up, and four hundred and eighty-eight of the soldiers died.
The soldiers of the ship shows even greater discipline and nobility than the Titanic under the extreme conditions of a disaster. The stories of the courage mainly shown in the face of death moved the world.
