Listening text
Listen to three volcanologists talking about their most frightening experience.
Part 1
Hi, I’m Jane Small. I’ve been a volcanologist for five years, but I can still remember my first visit inside a crater. We were on the top of an active volcano in Alaska.
The experienced members of our group went immediately to the edge of the crater. I was so anxious and couldn’t move at first. After a while I forced myself to join the others. Then I got the courage to bend over the boiling lava and collect a sample.
I became so excited that I forgot my fear. After that, I was never so frightened again but I’m always careful.
Part 2
Hello, I am Frank Gore. I’ve been studying volcanoes for almost 10 years. My most frightening experience was while flying over a volcano in Hawaii. Suddenly the clouds came down really low and our pilot couldn’t tell where we were. We flew down below the clouds very close to the volcano.
We flew between the fiery red lava below and the thick, dark clouds above. I felt so nervous and had to force myself not to panic. I had never felt so happy as I landed safely.
Part 3
Good morning! Hi, I am Sarah Tang. I’ve been examining volcanoes for over twenty years. I’ll never forget the amazing experience I had on a volcano in New Zealand. I was down the crater taking measurements. Suddenly the ground under my feet began to tremble. The trembling got stronger and stronger
and after a minute some steam blew out of the ground. That’s when I realized that the volcano was active. Believe me I was trembling as much as the ground, and was sweating too! At first I was afraid that the volcano would erupt while I was still inside it! After that I became excited by the experience and forgot to be frightened.
Speaking
Think of a powerful natural disaster (such as
an earthquake, food, typhoon, storm) that you
have experienced. You can use your imagination
if you have not experienced any of these things.
Tell your partner about your experience and
how you felt.
Jane and I had been waking in the mountains when we noticed some dark clouds coming down the mountain. We decided to turn around and go home.
As we walked the clouds got nearer and nearer and the day grew darker. Then all of a sudden it began to snow. It was soon snowing so hard we couldn’t see very far in front of us.
Sample
Holding each others’ hands so we couldn’t get separated, we continued down the mountain. But the snow got deeper and deeper. Walking became harder and harder. We began to get very tired and very frightened. After a while the path became buried under the snow and we didn’t know which way to go.
We were completely lost. We found some shelter behind a big rock. Hugging each other for warmth, we stayed like that until the storm was over. Luckily it only lasted an hour or two. Then the sun came out again and we could see our house in the distance. We were so relieved that we both burst into tears.
