The earthquake


Jack: "Hallo Sally! Heb je het nieuws gezien? Er is een zware aardbeving geweest in Japan."

Jack: Hi Sally! Did you see the news, there was a huge earthquake in Japan.
Sally: "Echt? Ik heb de hele dag geen televisie of radio gezien of gehoord."

Sally: Really? Haven't switched on the radio or TV today.
Jack: "Het was de zwaarste aardbeving die ze ooit gehad hebben in Japan! Het veroorzaakte een enorme tsunami!"

Jack: It was the biggest earthquake ever recorded in Japan! It triggered a huge tsunami!
Sally: "Oh mijn god! Mijn broer is momenteel in Japan."

Sally: Oh my god! My brother is in Japan at the moment.
Jack: "Waar is hij?"

Jack: Where is he?
Sally: "Hij is in Fukuoka. In het zuiden van Japan."

Sally: He is in Fukuoka. That's in the South of Japan.
Jack: "De aardbeving was in het noorden, in de buurt van Sendai."

Jack: The quake was in the North, near Sendai.
Sally: "Oh, ik hoop dat alles goed met hem is! Ik moet hem nu meteen bellen! Tot ziens!"

Sally: Oh I hope he is OK! I need to call him right now! Bye!
Jack: "Oké, tot ziens!"

Jack: OK bye!
