Term 2 Online Lesson 1: Crisis in Japan

Dear Drake ,
  Hey Bro! It's been a long time since I last wrote to you. I'm sure you know what has happened back here. I find that you are very fortunate to have immigrated just before the earthquake hit Japan. The situation here is like a living hell right now. Many buildings were razed, many bodies swept out to sea, even our favorite playground has been destroyed. Luckily, everyone in our family is safe and sound. But more problems are awaiting us. Right now, we have no homes as they were all destroyed. Our food source is gone too as the supermarket has been razed. Japan is in a state almost as bad as hell right now. Right now, even as you are reading this, many bodies are being found in the sea. The death toll is high, very high. Right now, Japan is just a more glorified version of a graveyard.
  But, we will not lose hope. For our home, we will do all that we can to help. Right now our parents, uncles and aunts are all participating in the search for lives under the debris of the fallen buildings. Other countries have heard our desperate calls for help. Many countries have sent us food, water and man power. I've even heard that Singapore is aiding us too. You should be thankful to be living in such a wonderful place with helpful people. I wish I could join you there but now, I shall stay here and assist the others and do my part for Japan. Our hopes are now in our own hands and I will do what I can. Brother, do not be worried. I will not let anything happen to mom and dad. I will make sure they are alright, in fact, I will make sure our whole family stays together in this time of need. I will do all I can to keep them safe.
  Well brother, I think I shall stop here. To make a long story short, there is nothing to worry about. So bro, just focus on your studies. Everything here is going to be okay. I promise.

Yours Sincerely,
Tiger
