1 The traffic was terrible this morning. I think it
was because of a bad road accident.
2 There were lots of boats in trouble during the storm
last night. The coast guard had to rescue them.
3 The ship that sank off the coast of Canada last week
caused a huge oil slick. It's a terrible environmental disaster.
4 "Jo, did you hear? There's been an awful plane
crash over the Atlantic Ocean. They say over 100 people have been killed."
5 The climbers got into trouble when it started to
snow heavily. Fortunately, a mountain rescue team found them in time.
6 The fire service fought for hours to put out the
flames, but unfortunately most of the forest was destroyed.
7 The heroic pilot saved the lives of 120 passengers
and six crew members.
