1) Read the text: “The Angel of the Beach”
On 26th December 2004, a 10 years old British schoolgirl, Tilly Smith, was happily spending her holiday with her family in a hotel in Phuket, Thailand.
The family were playing on the beach when the sea rapidly moved back. Tilly knew it was the first sign of a tsunami. “I was looking at the sea and the water looked very strange. There were lots of bubbles and the tide went out very quickly. I understood what was happening.” Tilly ran to her mother and explained it was possibly a tsunami. Mother and daughter ran and told the hotel manager. He reacted quickly and evacuated the area, minutes before the tsunami arrived.
But how did a ten-year-old British schoolgirl know a tsunami was coming? Before Chirstmas, in her Geography class, Tilly saw a video of a tsunami in Hawaii in 1946. She remembered the images.
On that sunny, December day the tsunami destroyed hotels, shops, schools,hospitalsand homes, and killed thousand of people. But Tilly saved her family and hundreds of tourists and local people.
“ She is a hero. She saved our lives because she is a good student and remembered her Geography class”, said the hotel manager. Mr Kearney, Tilly´s Geography teacher, described her as a brave girl. The local people call her” The Angel of the Beach”.
