It was a nice afternoon last summer, and Paul and Andrew had been sailing for a week in the Mediterranean. The two friends had been planning the sailing trip for months. They had been sailing for over two hours when black clouds appeared in the sky. A storm came. Paul told Andrew to get back in the boat as the water was becoming rough. The wind was blowing hard and the boat started to rock. Suddenly, they heard a loud crashing sound. Paul and Andrew couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw that the boat had struck a large rock. There was a large hole in the side of the boat and it was sinking fast. Quickly, they put on their lifejackets, sent out an SOS message and then jumped into the sea. In a few minutes the boat sank to the bottom of the sea. They were really scared but then they heard the sound of a boat coming towards them. It was the coastguard. The crew helped them get out of the water and gave them blankets to keep warm. Paul and Andrew had never felt so relieved in their lives. They were lucky to be alive.

Это был приятный летний день, и Пол с Эндрю уже неделю путешествовали под парусом по Средиземному морю. Друзья уже несколько месяцев планировали эту поездку. Они плыли уже больше двух часов, когда на небе появились чёрные тучи. Началась буря. Пол сказал Эндрю вернуться в лодку, так как вода становилась неспокойной. Ветер сильно дул, и лодку начало раскачивать. Внезапно они услышали громкий грохот. Пол и Эндрю не могли поверить своим глазам, когда увидели, что лодка ударилась о большой камень. В борту лодки была большая пробоина, и она быстро тонула. Они поспешно надели спасательные жилеты, отправили сигнал SOS, а затем прыгнули в море. Через несколько минут лодка затонула. Им было очень страшно, но затем они услышали приближающуюся лодку. Это была береговая охрана. Команда помогла им выбраться из воды и дала им одеяла, чтобы согреться. Пол и Эндрю никогда в жизни не испытывали такого облегчения. Им повезло остаться в живых.
