Flash flood at the town
Newspaper Article
JOHOR BAHRU: Last Sunday, a flash flood hit Johor Bahru town after a heavy rain which lasted for a few days. It was reported that the flood was the worst that had happened in Johor. Many houses were damaged and people had to evacuate their homes. They were sent to relief centres for shelter. Many vehicles were submerged in the flood. Many animals died because they had nowhere to run. The town became smelly due to the carcasses of dead animals.

If you have too many sentences to choose from, here are some tips to help you to score better…
• Choose sentences that describe actions or activities in the picture.
• Choose compound sentences.• Choose sentences that are not repetitive or redundant
(e.g. avoid choosing too many sentences that end the same way, i.e. ‘at the playground’).
• Choose sentences that have interesting words, phrases or that have a different structure.
• To give variety, add some adjectives or adverbs.
