Listening Text (For Teacher Only) Teacher
Teacher reads: "Last week, a terrible flood happened in our city. The water covered the streets, and many cars got stuck. It was a scary thunderstorm. At the same time, there was a drought in another country where there was no rain for months, so farmers couldn't grow crops. A wildfire also spread quickly in a forest because of strong winds. In Ancient Egypt, people were smart; they built canals and basins to control the Nile water. Also, two frogs in a story decided not to live in a deep well because they might get stuck there if the water dried up."
