Writing :

Instructions:

1. Imagine you are a professional performer (an actor, dancer, musician, or singer).
2. Write a diary entry describing a typical day in your life.
3. Include details about your practice routine, performances, and any special events or challenges you face.
4. Describe how you feel about being a performer and why you enjoy it.

Example :

Today was a busy day as a dancer like me! I started with a morning ballet class, followed by rehearsals for our upcoming performance of "The Nutcracker." After lunch, I attended a costume fitting and then practiced my solo routine. In the evening, I had a performance at the local theater, where the audience's applause made all the hard work worth it. Being a dancer is challenging, but the joy of performing and expressing myself through dance is rewarding.

Terrible Tsunamis

A tsunami is an enormous wave in the ocean that usually happens after an underwater earthquake. It can be up to 40 meters high and it can travel faster than an airplane. When this powerful wall of water hits the coast, it can cause a lot of damage. A tsunami gets bigger, but slower, as it gets closer to the coast. Then the massive wave crashes into the beach and keeps traveling and. Sometimes, more waves come after the first wave has hit. Tsunamis won't happen very often, but when they do, they cause deaths and injuries. Be prepared. Have a disaster plan:

Always listen to the radio and TV for warnings.

Plan a route to a safe place.

Prepare a disaster kit. Include a first-aid kit, food, water, a radio, a flashlight, warm clothes, good shoes, a blanket, food for pets, and instructions for turning off electricity and gas.
