UINT 4 Listening TextPart 1I will never forget the day when the earthquake took place. The time was a quarter past five in the afternoon and I was driving along the road to fetch my daughter from school. Our plan had been to go swimming together. I had finished work at about four oclock and had then gone to the post office. I was driving along a high road on my way to the school. Over my road was another road for cars going the other way. Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. I didnt know what was happening. Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car. I drove even slower. Then the road above started to fall down. I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the cars in front of me. Part 2I found myself in the dark. I couldnt move. The bottom part of my legs and my feet were hurting badly and I couldnt move them. All around me was quiet, but below me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I remembered what had happened. It was clear to me now that I had been in an earthquake. For about two hours nobody came. Then I heard people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken road. I called out “Im here.” I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to the side of the bridge near my car. It took them more than twelve hours to get me out of my car and bring me to a hospital. Listening Text (workbook)Jill: Do you know any of those four people over there?Grace: Why sure.
