ReplyDeleteHello citizens of Honduras, I am Tania Siu, president of the country. Today in this presentation, I want to inform you about the extensive disaster that the hurricane has left in our country. Both, the urban and the rural areas of the east coast of Honduras were affected, and many people need refuges, foods, clothes, and medicine. Thus, I want to request for your assistance with any extra food, cloth, and medicine that you may have. You can also help by gathering in small groups, in which some groups can prepare food, whereas others can prepare medical kits to distribute them easily. Additionally, we had a dialogue with the presidents from another countries to ask them for help, and they agreed to support us. Furthermore, they are going to help us built and fortify some homes and illuminate the streets. Therefore, I want to call on those who were affected and need aids to contact the authorities in your county. I hope we can all get through this difficult time. Thank you all and stay safe.

TO INFORM
ReplyDeleteHello ladies and gentlemen, in this dialogue, I want my audience to be informed and understand more about hurricanes, which are natural disasters.
Hurricanes are one of nature's most powerful and destructive storms. They can be dangerous to humans and animals.
I'm going to talk about hurricanes today. Hurricanes are among the most powerful and destructive storms in nature. We've all heard, seen, and read about the devastation that hurricanes leave behind whenever they make landfall.
the questions, what is being done to ensure the safety of the most vulnerable in our country GUINEA CONAKRY?
The first thing I should do as a president to help people affected by hurricane in the urban, it is a double-check that everyone is safe and get a refuge. Make sure to get in contact with them after the storm to make sure everyone is safe and Emergency situations necessitate immediate access.
Second, the government of GUINEA has taken programs to fortify our country's calamity to manage an emergency response project targeting people affected by the hurricane. Purchase the necessities, such as food, water, medicine, and equipment, from trusted and well-known supply networks. Purchase items from local area to aid in the recovery of the economy and Save resources for when they're most required.
finally, Volunteering is an excellent opportunity to contribute to recovery efforts while also allowing them to assist in their own neighborhood, check with local agencies to see if they're sending volunteers to the affected areas, or contact a local agency to see if they're seeking for volunteers.
Sincerely,
President Hawa.

Comments: You correctly used “dialogue”, “urban” and “fortify”. As for the word “urban”, please remember that this is an adjective. You can say “hurricane in the urban areas” but not “hurricane in the urban”. The idea sounds incomplete. I like your ideas Hawa! You did a good job explaining what happened to your people! Total: 85%

Comments: You correctly used “urban”, “dialogue” and “isolate”. However, you did not use “refuge” correctly. Refuge is a noun. So you could say that someone is in need of refuge. If you want to use to describe a person, you would say that person is a refugee. You also only wrote 4 sentences. Make sure not to use symbols in formal writing. Total: 82%
Hello My lovely citizens
ReplyDeleteI am Ushi, president of the country.
I would like to inform you about what happened last night. I am sorry for the great disaster that last night's hurricane has left in our country. It will take several months for the city to clean up the major damage caused by the hurricane. Our citizens living in the west of our country need many materials. As of today, our country has started to provide refuge, food, clothes, and medicine to our citizens. We expect your common sense citizens to help us in this regard. We also established a dialogue with the heads of neighboring countries and they said that they will help us as soon as possible. I sincerely believe that we will get through this difficult period together in the best way possible.
Sincerely
