Storms hit the UK
There are heavy storms in the UK. Winds of 60 kilometers per hour hit the west coast, with more storms later this weekend. Experts say that these storms are unusual. “Today, these storms are very strong. We usually get this kind of weather in the winter, not now”.
The heavy rain causes major transport problems – currently, the trains and ferries don't work. The emergency services are helping local residents. “Right now, we are moving people to safe areas and we are giving them hot food”. A group of fishermen are lost at sea and a rescue team looks for them. “We do not usually fly in this kind of weather, but today aren't a normal day”.
My favorite book
My favorite book is "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. This story is one of the well-known works of the writer. The author depicts the characters of the old man and the boy and their relations very vividly and skillfully. Santiago, the old man, was one of the writer's beloved characters. The old man was a born fisherman, but he was not a butcher and fished only for a living. He was very lonely. He had a devoted friend - the boy, Manolin. The boy loved the old man for his kind heart, his devotion to the sea. Manolin was like a son to Santiago. He took care of the old man's food and his belongings. The old man was glad to pass his experience to the boy. He looked forward to going to the sea together with the boy. All Santiago's life had been in preparation for the battle with big fish. He knew that he had been born for this and it was time to prove it. A strong man at last had met a strong fish. The battle was a difficult one and full of danger. Though the sharks had eaten the fish and nothing had left but the backbone, the old man had morally won the battle. Santiago's words "man can be destroyed but not defeated" are the main idea of this story. "The Old Man and the Sea" is a masterpiece for its imaginative language and the description of nature.
