Unit 9: Natural disasters
Thuy is talking to her grandmother.
Thuy: Grandma, it`s the weather forecast on TV.
Grandma: Can you turn up the volume, Thuy?
Thuy: Yes, Grandma.
Weatherman: Here is tomorrow`s weather forecast. Ha Noi and areas to the north will be sunny.
Ha Noi will have temperatures between 230C and 270C. It will be raining along the
coast of Thanh Hoa. The south-central coast can expect thunderstorms. Hue will
experience temperatures between 250C and 300C. There will also be
thunderstorms over the central highlands. Areas around the Cuu Long Delta can
expect clouds during the day. Ho Chi Minh City`s temperatures will be between
270C and 350C.
Thuy: That`s all, Grandma.
Grandma: Thank you, dear. What are you doing?
Thuy: I`m preparing for a picnic with some old friends of mine. We haven`t met since we
left school. We`re going to a park on the other side of the river.
Grandma: Don`t forget to bring along a raincoat.
Thuy: But Grandma, the forecast says it`ll be sunny.
Grandma: I never trust weather forecasts.
Thuy: You don`t miss a single one on TV, do you?
Grandma: But I like watching them, dear.
Thuy: Alright Grandma, I`ll bring a raincoat just in case. I hope my friends won`t laugh at me.
