Я делаю работу над ошибками

I used to wear glasses when I was at school, and so I found sport very difficult. I wanted to be involved in school sports competitions, and I loved the idea of teams competing with each other, but being on the rugby team, for example, meant having to take off my glasses, and that meant that I couldn’t see! And it’s difficult to catch a ball when you can’t see it! So, I wasn’t very good and the captains always made sure that I wasn’t on their team. This meant I was free to do other activities, like being on the debating team, and actually I preferred to do things I was good at doing rather than have everyone laugh at me.

A hurricane (ураган) is a severe storm. To be called a hurricane, a storm must have wind speeds at least 75 miles (120 kilometers) an hour.

1. People who live around the Pacific Ocean call hurricanes typhoons (тайфун). People who live on the Indian Ocean call them cyclones (циклоны). Hurricanes begin over warm tropical oceans.

2. They are like giant spinning (вращающиеся) wheels of storm clouds, wind and rain. The centre of a hurricane is a narrow column of air that spins very slowly. This is the "eye" of hurricane.

3. Here the weather is surprisingly calm with low winds and clear skies.

Tornadoes are terrible windstorms. Most of them happen in North America, but they can occur anywhere in the world. 

4. If hurricanes are strong winds that build up over the sea, tornadoes build up over land.

5. They happen when large masses of cloud meet. When a tornado touches the ground, it sucks (втягивает) up anything in its path – trees, houses and people. On the 4 September 1981 a tornado hit Ancona, a place in Italy. It lifted a baby asleep in its pram.

6. into the air set it down safely 100 metes away. The baby was still sleeping soundly.
