final version in class or at home,

Sample:
Nghe An Province was badly affected again
when a typhoon hit the area last night. The
storm began at around 11 p.m. and raged
throughout the night. Dozens of people were
seriously injured and hundreds of others
were left homeless. The severe winds
caused extensive damage to property,
including homes and businesses, particularly
in Cua Lo, a coastal town in Nghe An. The
storm had already weakened by the time
emergency workers arrived in the area.
Rescue operations have started and many
people trapped in collapsed or damaged
buildings have been freed. Workers are now

clearing up the debris left behind by the
severe storm. The government has already
sent rescue equipment to Nghe An, as well
as food and medical supplies. People left
homeless have been taken to safe areas,
where temporary accommodation will be
built to house them. The weather bureau has
issued flood warnings for Nghe An and
nearby provinces as heavy rain is expected
to continue over the next few days.
