Latest Q&A Analysis Reporters’ log Eyewitness London’s Burning
Yesterday evening at about 6:30, a building site caught fire
on Greyhound Road in South West London. Fortunately, the
emergency services were quick. They arrived at the scene
15 minutes later and the firefighters put out the fire. Luckily,
there were no workers inside the building at the time.
However, John Richards, a TV cameraman from Channel 5
got very close to the flames while he was filming the fire and
burnt his arm. He’s in hospital at the moment, but doctors
expect he will be home in a few days.

I’m a builder on the site and I was on the second floor just
before the fire started. I don’t know what happened. All I
can say is that building sites can be dangerous places. I was
in another accident last year and, again, the emergency
services were excellent. They’re doing a great job!
Arthur Jacobs, Islington
I’m a colleague of John Richards, the TV cameraman. Our
jobs are becoming more and more dangerous. I suppose it
makes the news more exciting, right? However, reporters and
cameramen risk their lives every day for the news. And some
even get injured. In my opinion, it’s not an easy job.

Hi Saad!
How are you? I’ve got some exciting news to tell you!
I followed your advice and joined the tennis club. It’s fantastic! I practise three times a week
at the local court with my friend Ali. He has been a member of the club for two years now and
he’s great at tennis. He gives me lots of tips on how to get better. I always thought tennis was
very difficult, but it isn’t. It’s fun, and it’s good exercise, too! Actually, I’ve lost weight after only
a few months of practice and I feel very healthy! The coach says I’m really good, but I need to
work hard. I just hope one day I can be as good as Ali. Guess what! Last Thursday I won my first
official match and, in two weeks, I’m going to take part in a tournament in a nearby town. Can
you believe it?
Well, that’s all for now. What about you? Have you taken up any new activities lately? Write back
and let me know.
Take care,
Faisal
