Tom: You look pretty sad, Mi. What's the matter?
Mi: My uncle called us this morning. Our hometown has been affected by a flood. It’s the second time this year.
Tom: I'm sorry to hear that. How are things there now?
Mi: My uncle, his wife, and his children are all safe. They moved everything to the second floor of their house last night. Are there natural disasters in your hometown in the US?
Tom: Yes, we sometimes have tornadoes.
Mi: Tornadoes? Sounds strange. What's a tornado?
Tom: It’s a violent storm that moves in a circle with very strong winds. I still remember the tornado we had last year.
Mi: What happened?
Tom: One evening my parents and I were having dinner. Suddenly, we heard a very loud noise. When we looked out of the window, we saw a big funnel of wind moving towards us.
Mi: Did it cause any damage?
Tom: Yes, a lot. It damaged the roof of our house and pulled up some trees in our yard. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Mi: Bác mình mới gọi sáng nay. Quê mình mới bị ảnh hưởng bởi lũ. Đây là lần thứ hai trong năm rồi.
Tom: Mình rất tiếc khi nghe điều đó. Mọi thứ bây giờ thế nào rồi?
Mi: Bác mình, vợ bác và con của bác ấy, tất cả đều an toàn. Họ chuyển hết đồ đạc ở nhà họ lên tầng hai vào tối qua. Ở quê cậu ở Mỹ có xảy ra những thiên tai không?
Tom: Có chứ, đôi khi mình thấy lốc xoáy.
Mi: Lốc xoáy? Nghe lạ quá. Lốc xoáy là gì thế?
Tom: Đó là một cơn bão rất dữ dội di chuyển theo hình tròn với gió rất mạnh. Mình vẫn nhớ đợt lốc xoáy năm ngoái.
Mi: Chuyện gì đã xảy ra thế?
Tom: Một tối, gia đình mình đang ăn tối. Bất ngờ, mình nghe thấy một tiếng động rất lớn. Khi nhà mình nhìn ra ngoài cửa sổ, mình nhìn thấy một cái phễu gió lớn đang tiến về phía nhà mình.
Mi: Nó có gây ra thiệt hại gì không?
Tom: Có, nhiều chứ. Nó làm hỏng mái nhà của nhà mình và nhổ bật một số cây cối trong sân nhà mình. May mắn là không có ai bị thương.
