Sabaidee Caty!
Sabaidee Toui!
Toui: Have you ever experienced an earthquake?
Caty: Yes, an earthquake shook the Washington D.C. area in 2011.
Toui: Really? How was it?
Caty: Scary, the building was shaking a lot. And you could feel that the force was coming from underground.
Toui: And, that one wasn’t very powerful. The recent earthquake in Turkey destroyed many homes.
Caty: I know. Lots of people had to live in tents.
Toui: Yes. Some even took refuge in a train. Let’s watch a video about it.

The sleeping cars lined up at Iskenderun railway station allude to adventure.
But this train is going nowhere. Hundreds of the city’s residents made homeless by February’s earthquake are now living in these cramped wagons.
Among them is Sevil Uygur.
[[FOR RADIO: He says... “We have no houses, they are gone. They were levelled to the ground. So we took shelter here with the children and we live here… They bring us food, the people here are not left hungry. But sleeping here is very problematic and difficult.”
There are around seven-hundred people living in the twenty-seven wagons.
Twenty-two of them are sleeping cars with beds – which were quickly taken by the first arrivals. The remaining cars have no beds and people sleep on upright chairs.
Some people living here have homes that are still standing – but are too dangerous to live in.
Toui: I feel so sorry for them. Caty, what does levelled mean?
Caty: The man means the houses collapsed to the ground. The earthquake destroyed them.
Toui: How about cramped?
Caty: Cramped means crowded. It describes a space too small for the number of people and things inside it.
Toui: I see. What about wagon?
Caty: It is just another word for a rail car.
Toui: Got it. Time to explore pronunciation.
Caty: We’ve got people to help with that!
Toui: Thank you, Caty!
Caty: You’re welcome!
