1. What is your impression after watching the video? I feel amazed about all of
the things about tornadoes. How it can become from a storms to a powerfull
tornadoes. And after watching that video. I know, if I was in a vehicle. And I
meet a tornadoes. I should keep in that vehicle. Because, a tornadoes can
wiped all entire land, include the vehicle. So it would be me to. And I know,
that I should use the technology for searching. So that I wont met that
tornadoes things. And I can live my life peacefully.
2. Can you identify the following based on the video:
a) the title of the video : The Most Powerfull Tornado in 2023.
b) the introducing phenomenon : The phenomenon is Tornadoes. And Tornadoes
are generated by storms and the unique structure of each storms. And the storms
get triggered by large colliding air masses.
c) the sequence of events : wall cloud appears as the precursor formation of
tornado. Then, cone -shaped cloud formed bellow the wall cloud spinning faster
than the mesocyclone. Bellow the wall cloud formed two tubes of air because
winds coming from rear flank of the wall cloud. One spins clockwise, the other spins
counter clockwise. The clockwise oftenly sheared aparts. Leaving the counter
clockwise one. Pulled upwards and streched by the mesocyclone the tube formed a
tornado.
d) the conclusion : Tornadoes are a part of life for many around the world. Use the
technology for searching the most dangerous storms. Turn your fear into
fascination. And use your knowledge to stay safe.
e) technical words : tornadogenesis, storms, supercell dynamics, wall cloud,
mesocyclone
f) conjunction of time : ofter, then, as, after all, within
g) passive voice : “tornadoes are generated by” “tube of air is ingested” “the
creation of tornado is by other process”
h) adverb of place : in the center, between, upward, back side

Introduction In some country, that have lots of
plates like Japan and Indonesia,
tsunami oftenly occurred.
Tsunami is a big deadly wave that
can wiped all entire land. Mostly,
tsunami caused by undersea
earthquakes.
Sequence of events
When there’s a big undersea
earthquakes, that earthquakes will
form a fault. And when the fault
occurs, the water will flow and
enter the fault.

The water on the seafront will

appear to recede. Then the ocean
will be seen without water. A few
moments after the water enters
the fault, the water will come out
in the form of big waves. This is
caused by the fault formed by the
earthquake, will move and close
again. So that the water that
enters the fault will be pushed
out. And there will be a big wave
of death, namely the tsunami.

Closing The big deadly wave is about to

enter the land. And cleared the
land around it. Tsunami is a very
scary phenomenon. But it can't be
avoided. Because it happens
naturally, because of the
movement of nature.

Introduction Rain is the occurrence of water
falling to the surface of the earth.
Rain is also a part of the biological
cycle that comes from sea water
and land water. Rain goes through
a cycle, which is called the water
cycle.
Sequence of events In the process of its formation, all
the water in the oceans or rivers
will evaporate. And there’s
evaporation that comes from
plants or living things. Commonly
known as transpiration.
Evaporation also depends on
temperature. The hotter
temperature, will speed up the
evaporation. After the water
evaporates, the water that
evaporates in the sky will
condense, becoming clouds. Then,
the clouds will carried by the wind
so that there is a moving cloud.
When a cloud is too dark, it means
that the water content in the
cloud is too much. Then after that,
the clouds will melt. Become
water droplets, or rain. Commonly
known as precipitation.

Rain is a natural phenomenon that

Closing
often occurs in human life. It's
nothing to be afraid of, because
rain is a normal phenomenon that
there will be in the cycle of life.

Title EARTHQUAKES
Earthquakes being the most deadly Simple Present Tense
natural hazards strike without any prior
Time conjunction
warning leaving catastrophe in their
wake with terrible loss of human lives as Adverb of place
well as economic loss.
Technical words
Passive voice

Technically, an earthquake (also known

as tremor, quake or temblor) is a kind of
vibration through earth’s crust. These
powerful movements trigger a rapid
release of energy that creates seismic
waves that travel through the earth.
Earthquakes are usually brief, but may
repeat over a long period of time (earth
science 2001).
Earthquakes are classified as large and
small. Large earthquakes usually begin
with slight tremors but rapidly take form
of violent shock. The vibrations from a
large earthquake last for few days known
as aftershocks. Small earthquakes are
usually slight tremors and do not cause
much damage. Large earthquakes are
known to take down buildings and cause
death and injury (Richter 1935).
According to some statistics, there may
be an average of 500,000 earthquakes
every year but only about 100,000 can
be felt and about 100 or so can cause
damage each year.
Earthquakes are dreaded by everyone.

Title How Snow is Made

General Statement Snow is water droplets falling from the clouds. Simple present tense
These droplet waters then become solid and
create snow. It happens because rain consists Time conjunction
of water vapor particles being cooled in the
air.
Sequenced Snow happens when water vapor piled up in Passive voice
Explanation the earth’s atmosphere freezes. It happens
before they turn into water droplets. This
process occurs when the temperature in the
cloud becomes very frigid.

Snowflakes are created by crystals of ice that

have established around a little filth in the air.
They then grow from small forms into big one.
The form of snowflakes is varied. They can
consist of 200 crystals maximum
Closing/ Snow is one phenomenon that many eyes want

Title : Pandemic Called Covid-19

Generic Statements :

The whole world has been hit by a deadly plague. One of them is Indonesia. The outbreak, which
became a pandemic from 2020 to 2022, has harmed many parties. The pandemic is Covid-19. Covid-19
or coronavirus disease 2019 is a contagious virus that was discovered in Wuhan, China in December 2019
This virus attacks the immune system and respiratory acid .

Sequence of events:

Covid-19 cause respiratory infections in humans ranging from cold coughs to more serious ones such as
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Many people
died because of this virus. And also because of this, all the whole world has been locked down. All
sectors are down due to this virus.Especially the economic sector. Many workers were fired, families
experienced economic difficulties, and other.

Sequence of events 2 :

As we know, this virus is so easily to infectious other people. Firstly, the virus is supposed to spread primarily
from person to person. Secondly, COVID-19 can also range via respiratory dewdrops produced while an infected
person coughs or sneezes. Thirdly, it is spread by any human interaction with infected objects or surfaces.
Covid spreads very easily. The highest cases were in Indonesia, with around 56,757 cases recorded on July 15
2021.

Closing :

Covid-19 was once a pandemic that was so scary. But thankfully, now it's not a critical pandemic. Covid-19 has
now become endemic. However, not because it has become endemic we can underestimate Covid-19. We also
still need to maintain our own health so that we don't get infected with Covid-19.
