Anita : It’s about the earthquake and the tsunami in Aceh. It’s really

terrible. The news states that at around 8 a.m. the earthquake

shook the land of Aceh and the tsunami burst out not long after

that. They destroyed the land 15 minutes later. More than two

hundred thousand people died and many were missing.

Julia : It’s unbelievable.

Anita : Hi, Anton. How are you?

Anton : Not so good.

Anita : Why? Are you sick?

tsunami in Aceh and North Sumatra. You know, most of my

relatives live there.

Anita & Julia : We are really sorry to hear that.

Anton : Thanks for your concern.
