Taking Chances - part two

It's time to take your chances on another two danger scenarios.

This time we're hearing from Flavia, Mohamed and Palm, and then Chris and Masha. All five are students in Felicity's pre-advanced English class.

Each group has described a dangerous situation, and given you three possible survival options. Read the scenarios and consider your options - what would you choose?

This exercise is a great way to practise vocabulary to do with 'taking chances' and 'weighing up risks'.

Flavia, Mohamed and Palm:

You are on an island and a Tsunami has just struck and you are stranded on the island. You are in the hotel and you run out of food and water. There are one thousand people in the hotel and amongst them there are a lot of children:

Do you -

1. Stay where you are and hide under the bed
2. Look for a wooden board to float on.
3. Try to climb up the hill

Chris and Masha:

There is a huge earthquake. Your house is shaking and objects are flying around your house. The gas pipes start leaking, so you need to make a quick decision.

Do you -

1. Try to escape from the house?
2. Stand next to the doorframe?
3. Go into the kitchen and hide under the table?

In both cases, what would you do...?
