Dan: No problem, Dad! It’s ten past two now, so we’ve got more than three hours.
Shari: We want to get some interesting information for our ezine, so where shall we go first?
Alvin: Tower Bridge is the most famous bridge in London. Let’s go there.
Shari: How do we get there?
Alvin: Let’s look at the map…. Now, we’re outside the station. That’s here.
Dan: We have to go straight along this road. We don’t go across the river. We turn left here…
Dan: Ok, now we’re at a corner. Do we want to go left or right, Alvin?
Alvin: Er, I don’t know. I think we take the third street on the right, then walk past this park.
Shari: Er, boys…turn the map round! We’re going in the wrong direction.
Shari: Excuse me. Can you tell us how to get to Tower Bridge, please?
Woman: Look, dear. It’s just across the street. It’s behind you.

reporter:Well, hello, children. Are you getting warm? Shari, Dan, and Alvin:Yes!
reporter:Can you tell me what happened?

Alvin: When we were sailing to the island, the sky went dark. Reporter: Were you listening to the weather on the radio? Dan: The radio was on, but we weren’t listening to the weather. We were listening to music.
Reporter: Why didn’t you go back to the beach?
Dan:Because we were very near the island.We decided to wait there for the weather to get better…but it didn’t.A storm started. Shari: We were walking up the beach, looking for somewhere safe to stay,when lighting hit the boat and it caught fire. Reporter: What a disaster!
Shari:We couldn’t leave the island, so Dad had to phone for

Alvin: At first,the phone didn’t work. But when they tried again and it was OK. Phew! Reporter: Were you afraid? Shari, Dan and Alvin: Yes!
Dan:But it was really exciting when the helicopter came to get us.
Shari and Alvin: Yeah, that was great!
