Перевод заполненного текста:

Привет! Я Клара. Я живу в Белизе десять лет. Моя семья находится здесь с 1952 года. Мы заметили много изменений. Прибыло много туристов. Мы открыли школы дайвинга и организовали для них прогулки на лодках.

Одно не изменилось — ураганы! Самым сильным был ураган Хэтти в 1961 году. С тех пор ничто не осталось прежним. Белиз-Сити почти исчез! Теперь они построили новую столицу. Она называется Бельмопан и находится вне опасной зоны. Я не была там много лет. Мой брат учился там в школе, а теперь он береговой охранник. Он работает на спасательных шлюпках с 2007 года. Это действительно увлекательно, но также опасно.

Ответ: 1 — for; 2 — since; 3 — since; 4 — for; 5 — since.
