Hello everybody! I am Jess Estrada, and we are here one more time to practice our pronunciation! And today, we have acquired new vocabulary related to natural disasters. Before saying to you, which words we have chosen, I require to present my friend for this practice conversation. Salute to everyone Luis. Greeting everyone! My name is Luis Escamilla, and I am content to be with you Jess here to rehearse my vocabulary and accent with these new terms! Thanks Luis to be here. Now, I need to read these new designations that we are going to use them! • Hurricane • Tidal wave • Warning • Casualties • Hailstones • Flash flood • Eye of hurricane • Havoc • Rangers • Thunderstorm So, let us start! Luis: Jess, could you turn it to Channel “BBC News”, please? Jess: Of course! But what is it happening in the news? Luis: I have just read in my mobile phone that there is a hurricane near Puerto Rico! Jess: Geez! Is your family not in a trip over there, is it? Luis: Unfortunately, they are in San Juan. I hope they have already heard the warning reports! Please, turn up the volume to hear more clearly. Jess: No worries, everything is going to be all right! *Hearing the news in Spanish* Jess: Oh no! The eye of hurricane invaded the totally of Puerto Rico! Luis: It seems that the island is in the middle of the storm! Over there seems that the hurricane ripped through San Juan causing havoc! Jess: The lady of the news has said that the thunderstorm caused a lot of havoc! She said that there is not electricity to communicate, therefore they are not sure about all the casualties in the island! Luis: I am worried as I do not know anything of them! The host of the news is saying that the flash flood is in everywhere! And now she has said, it is already raining hailstones! Jess: We need to pray for them, but I hope that the rangers are protecting your family! What the heck?! Now it is a warning spot that could be a tidal wave! Could this be worse that this?! Luis: No, this is impossible! Maybe they have battery in their mobile phone! I will call them asap! *Calling* Luis: Mom? Are you save!? Jess: Why are you so concerted? We are now in Colombia celebrating! Luis: Why did you not call before!
