Hey,
today we first warmed up about the tragedy in Haiti and here is what we said:
Last week, there was a terrible / huge earthquake that was 7 on the Richter's scale in Port-au-Prince, the capital city of Haiti. The death toll is not precise yet but there were a lot of people who died.
As the buildings were weak, they all collapsed and people became prisoner of the debris. All communication went out and the international aid couldn't come easily. People are now fighting for food and water and against diseases.The catastrophe was so important because it was unpredictable and it happened in a poor country.
Then we began correcting your tests on immigration and here the vocabulary I reminded you was necessary to understand this text.
