When you see the river, it looks like very quiet, serene, leading the water by its natural couse. You can't notice the sound, its a natural and mininal sound. The river doesn't want to say you anything.
But now, due to the last rains and snowfalls, the level of the river is on the rise. Nobody can fight against the river's strength. He wants to follow its course, but it is impossible.
But despite recent natural disasters like rains and snowfalls, we should focus on investigating who is the main culprit of all this. If there is some guilty.
Now all people have to repair their houses. Politicians are promising helps to help them. But not all money is enough to repair all these damages. Everybody should help to prevent future natural disasters. The river should be cleanend in all its course. Only of this way we will be able to prevent the future disasters. At the end, Nature is stronger than human beings.
While for some it is a big disaster for others this is only a spectacle. Everybody want to take a picture of the disaster, just to remember. That's life!

Well done! Amazing pictures! Is this your city?
(1) better: it's natural and minimal
(2) "It", unless you want to be poetic
(3) maybe: it breaks through the normal sounds of nature
(4) better: everyone
(5) great sentence
* good vocabulary
Yes Matt, It's my city. Sometimes, Nature gives us the opportunity of enjoying this kind of spectacle. Although, someone has to suffer it.
Deleteimpresive floodings, I hope everyone pulls it off. Now, Ebro river takes a flow rate six times bigger than usual. More than 20000 acres flooded.
ReplyDeleteto pull through = to survive
ReplyDeleteto pull it off = to accomplish something difficult, especially when success seems unlikely

ReplyDeleteI mean that I hope people return to normal situation, so what is the best verb?
DeleteI can't think of a great phrasal verb for that. Maybe:
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone gets through it soon.
I hope everyone gets over it soon.
I hope everyone recovers soon.
Yeah!, useful sentences.
