Answer
the

questions.
(News
report

Thousands
died
in
the
tsunami.
She
noticed
something
odd
about
the
sea
water.
It
wasn’t
calm
and
it
wasn’t
going
in
and
then
out.
It
was
just
coming
in
and
in
and
in.
She
had
learned
these
were
signs
of
an
approaching
tsunami.

What
did
Sabrina
notice
about
the
sea
water?
4.
What
was
her
parents’
first
reaction
when
Sabrina
warned
them
of
the
approaching
tsunami?
She
noticed
that
the
water
was
like
the
bubbles
on
the
top
of
a
beer
and
it
was
just
coming
in
and
in
and
in.
They
thought
she
was
joking.

head”?
6.
What
were
the
changes
of
Sabrina’s
emotion
in
the
whole
event?
That
means
she
didn’t
panic.
She
soon
calmed
herself
down.
At
first,
she
was
happy,
enjoying
herself
on
the
beach.
She
must
have
felt
shocked
when
she
noticed
a
tsunami
was
approaching.
But
soon
she
kept
calm
and
asked
for
help.
When
the
officer
realized
the
coming
danger,
she
felt
relieved.
Miss
Brown:
What
are
the
two
characters’
personalities?
Use
details
from
the
news
reports
to
support
your
opinion.
At
the
same
time,
Miss
Brown
quickly
opened
the
classroom
door,
…
The
moment
the
shaking
stopped,
Miss
Brown
sensed
it
was
the
best
time
for
the
class
to
make
their
escape.
She
signalled
to
her
students
to
exit
the
classroom
in
an
orderly
line
covering
their
heads
with
their
hands…

We
cannot
prevent
natural
disasters,
but
we
can
arm
ourselves
with
knowledge
and
conduct
multiple
disater
drills.
Loss
of
life
can
be
limited
through
disaster
preparation.
We
need
to

to
these
situations
calmly
