TASK 2. Write a paragraph (120 - 150 words) about one natural disaster.

Sample writing:

A flood is one of the most common natural disasters in the world. It usually happens when there is very heavy rain for many days or when rivers overflow their banks. Floods can cause serious damage to houses, roads, and farms. Many people may lose their homes and have to move to safer places. In addition, floods can destroy crops and kill animals, which makes life difficult for farmers. Transportation is also affected because roads and bridges may be covered with water. However, people can reduce the damage by preparing carefully. For example, they can build stronger houses, plant more trees, and move to higher ground when floods are coming. Governments also warn people about floods through the news and weather reports. Although floods are dangerous, good preparation can help people stay safer during this disaster.
