Рівень: B1Тема: Reported speech: told us that — community news; 30+ прикладів
Heavy rain hit our town on Tuesday, and water rose quickly in the lower streets. By Wednesday morning residents gathered near the community hall to share information. I listened carefully and wrote down what people said.
Mr Hughes from Oak Lane said that water had entered his garage. He told us that he had moved his tools to shelves overnight, and he said that the pump he owned was still working. He told the council officer that drainage on his corner needed repair.
Mrs Khan said that her basement was dry, but she told neighbours that she had stayed awake to watch the level. She said that she had placed sandbags at the door, and she told me that her son had helped carry them from the store.
The café owner, Elena, told everyone that she had closed early on Tuesday. She said that customers had left calmly, and she told us that staff had saved equipment from the lower storage room. She said that she would reopen when the road was safe.
A volunteer coordinator said that the shelter had enough blankets. She told parents that hot drinks were available, and she said that a nurse would stay until evening. She told me that donations had arrived from a supermarket chain.
Young Adam from Bridge Street told his mother that school was cancelled. His mother said that teachers had sent an online notice, and she told other parents that lessons would resume when buses could run. She said that she would work from home that day.
The mayor arrived and said that emergency teams were active. He told residents that no injuries had been reported, and he said that engineers would inspect the river wall. He told reporters that updates would be posted hourly.
An elderly resident, Mr Lee, said that floods had happened before in the nineteen eighties. He told us that the council had improved barriers since then, and he said that he remembered neighbours helping one another during that earlier crisis.
After the meeting I told my partner what Elena had said about reopening. My partner said that we should support the café when it opened again. I told her that Mr Hughes had warned about drainage, and we agreed that we would attend the next council forum.
Community crises produce many reported statements. People repeat warnings, reassurance, and plans through said and told structures until everyone understands what happened and what would happen next.
