Speaking Task: I will be retelling a short story about a Romanian Avalanche in 2003.

In 2003, a group of climbers in Romania were caught in an avalanche. They were climbing a mountain when suddenly a massive wall of snow came rushing down towards them. It was a terrifying situation.

The climbers quickly tried to find shelter, but the avalanche was too fast. They were swept away by the force of the snow. It was a struggle to stay alive in the freezing cold and the darkness of the snow.

Fortunately, some of the climbers had survival training and knew what to do. They used their equipment to create air pockets and tried to dig themselves out. It was a race against time to find each other and make sure everyone was safe.

After hours of digging and searching, the climbers were finally rescued. It was a miracle that they survived such a dangerous situation. They were exhausted but grateful to be alive.

Some questions you can ask me about this topic are: - How did the climbers prepare for the avalanche? - Were there any casualties in the avalanche? - How did the rescue team find the climbers?
