Quake hits santa maria
An earthquake struck the town of Santa Maria in Peru early yesterday morning. The quake measured 7,5 on the Richter scale and is one of the worst earthquakes to have struck the area in over fifty years. The authorities have reported fifty people missing.
The quake struck at 5 am local time, and lasted for about half a minute. Most buildings collapsed, ten people have died and hundreds are still buried under debris. Other countries are now sending emergency medical supplies to the town. Volunteers are building shelters and Red Cross doctors are treating the injured. Ambulances have taken others to a hospital in a nearby city.
The government will give money to the town to help pay for the rebuilding of the houses which the earthquake has destroyed. Local people are still trying to get over the shock. “It was horrible!’ one resident said. ”I’ll never forget it!”

Laura Bruce is a trainee reporter for the London Evening Echo. Last week several famous people arrived at London Airport. Laura was sent to interview them to make a news report.
Task 1.
Read Laura’s report based on these statements to find out if she was successful in writing.
Doctor Sowanso, Secretary-General, UNO
“I’m very busy. I’ve got a lot of appointments. I can’t say very much. I’ve been to England many times before. I enjoy this country. This time I’ll be here only for twelve hours. I’m going to meet the Prime Minister.”
Laura’s Report
Dr. Sowanso visited England yesterday. He arrived at London airport at 10 am, and we asked him to comment on the international situation. He just made a brief statement. He said he was very busy, and that he’d got a lot of appointments. He said he couldn’t say very much, but he said he loved England. He said that he had been here many times, and that he had enjoyed his visit in January. He said he would be in England for only twelve hours, and that he was going to meet the Prime Minister. He said he had no other comments.
Brutus Cray, world champion boxer
“I like newspapers reporters, but I haven’t got time to say much. Just that I’m the greatest! I’ve always been the greatest, and I always will be the greatest. I can beat any body in the world! I’ve beaten Leo Fink before. I knocked him out in Miami, and I’m going to knock him out in Sao Paulo. I’ll be the champion forever!”
Laure’s Report
Brutus Cray stopped at London Airport on his way from Frankfurt to San Paulo. I managed to see him in the VIP lounge. Brutus was in a hurry. He said he liked newspapers reporters, but that he hadn’t got time to say much. He said he was the greatest, he had always been the greatest, and he always be the greatest. He said he could beat anybody in the world. He also said he had beaten Leo Fink before. He said he had knocked Fink out in Miami, and that he was going to knock him out in San Paulo. He also said he would be the champion forever!

“I’m not staying in England long. I’m on my way to the United States. I’m going to record another album. I’ve written ten new songs. I like recording in Detroit. I made my last album there. I’ll be in Detroit for six weeks.”
Stanley Walsh, ex-footballer
“I don’t like reporters. They’ve written a lot of lies about me. They destroyed my marriage. I’ve got a new career. I’m tired of football. I’ll never play in England again. I can’t say anything more.”
