Read the TV news report script about a typhoon in Manila and choose the best answer for each question.
Good evening. Tonight, I'm reporting from Manila as the city prepares for a huge typhoon.
This typhoon could be one of the biggest and most dangerous storms in decades. Heavy rain and strong winds are already hitting the city. Just look at the wind right now. It's so strong. These trees look like they're about to fall over!
As you can see, there is so much water on the street behind me. This isn't the only flooded street in the city. Water has flooded many city streets. Since the rain shows no signs of stopping, the flooding will most likely spread. And it's only going to get worse over the next few hours.
All the major roads outside the city are now closed. If you're still in the city, it's important to protect yourself. The best safety tip right now is to stay inside. It's too dangerous to go out in this weather. If you're at home, cover your doors and windows with boards. Make sure you have enough food and clean water, just in case. You might also prepare an emergency kit with torches. You can use these in case the power goes off. If you do need to leave your home, stay away from flooded areas. Entering these areas will only put you in serious danger.
Take care of each other tonight, everyone. Stay safe.
