Exercise 1

Read the reports and answer the questions below by filling in the gaps with the number of the report: 1,

2 or 3. (Przeczytaj reportaże i odpowiedz na pytania poniżej wstawiając numer reportażu: 1, 2 lub 3 w

lukę.)

Report 1

Newsreader It's one o'clock and here's the news, every hour on the hour from Avon Radio, your local

radio station for the west. Hurricaneforce winds are causing chaos throughout the region.

Power lines have been blown down and thousands of homes are without electricity. Falling trees have

blocked many roads, and the A37 is blocked by trees near the junction with the B3130. The Severn

Bridge was closed to highsided vehicles earlier this morning because of strong winds, and an hour ago

it was closed to all traffic. Avon police have warned motorists not to drive unless their journey is really

necessary. I'll repeat that warning: stay where you are unless your journey is absolutely necessary.

Report 2

Newsreader News is just coming in from Thornton, where the River Bourne has burst its banks. We

have an Avon Radio news team at the scene. Annabel Hall is there. Come in, Annabel, can you hear

me?

Annabel Hello, Simon. Annabel Hall reporting from Thornton for Avon Radio. I've never seen anything

like this in my life. The river burst its banks about an hour ago, and the whole of the town centre is

flooded. There's a house opposite and the roof has been blown off completely. A few minutes ago a

huge oak tree was blown down and it nearly hit our car. The storm has caused chaos throughout the

town. Traffic cannot get into or out of Thornton; every road has been blocked by falling trees. Everyone

has been warned to stay indoors.

Report 3

Newsreader That report was from Annabel Hall for Avon Radio. We've got more reports coming in from

around the region.

At Chidlington the sea walls are being battered by heavy waves, and emergency workers are afraid that

they may be destroyed.

At Winton airport, three small aeroplanes have been blown over by the winds. Weather men at the

airport say that wind speeds of nearly one hundred miles per hour have been measured. Five people

were taken to hospital after their car was hit by a falling tree at Longham. Two of them were seriously

injured and are being operated on at the moment. That’s the news at one o’clock. We’ll be back with

more news at two o’clock, but we’ll be interrupting programmes as more news comes in.

1. a house has been damaged .........

2. driving a car can be dangerous .........
