Imagine that you are a journalist for a national newspaper. Having interviewed the survivors from the dhow in Passage A, write a newspaper article reporting what they have told you about their experiences. In your newspaper article you should:
• explain what the storm did to the dhow
• describe what happened to Leo
• explain how the crew escaped from this situation.
Base your newspaper article on what you have read in Passage A, but do not copy from it.
Be careful to use your own words. Address each of the three bullet points.
Begin your newspaper article: ‘A sudden storm caused chaos in the Indian Ocean yesterday…’.
Write about 200 to 300 words.
