Disaster!

After Reading No2:

About Edith Brown's story:
On 10 April 1912, Edith Brown and her parents, Thomas and Elizabeth, left England on the Titanic, because they wanted to start a new life in the United States.

When the Titanic suddenly hit an iceberg on the night of 14 April, Thomas immediately ran to his family and told them to put on warm clothes. Edith and Elizabeth found seats in the lifeboat, but sadly there weren't enough places for everybody. Poor Thomas died in the water along with many other people, so Edith never saw her father again.

About Tilly Smith's story:
In December 2004, ten-years-old Tilly Smith and her family went on holiday to Thailand. They stayed in a hotel on the coast.

When Tilly was on the beach one day, she saw the sea was moving back very quickly from the land. She had learned all about the signs of a tsunami at school, she immediately warned her family and other tourists about the danger.

Tilly returned to Thailand a year later, and she spoke there to thousands of people about kindness and bravery.

Although my answer is above, the question requires using 'where'. I have no idea for using 'where'...

  1. Yuji,

    "Where" can introduce relative clauses after nouns, referring to a place.

    ie we can identify a place we are talking about and give more information about it.

    eg Takagi is a convenient shop where I can buy cheap beer

    eg Hakuba is a ski resort in Nagano where I take my kids every winter holiday.

    Ask me in class if you 'don't get it' - OK?!
