GO TO BED

If I go to bed, I will sleep through the power cut

have any trouble as it will be dark like any other

night.

LIGHT AND COLLECT CANDLES

Candles are useful for if you don’t have enough

torches, if they are broken or if your torches have

run out of power.

PLAY BOARD GAMES

Board games are good because you don’t need any

power, they will distract you, you will have fun and

you can spend time with your family and comfort one

another.

COLLECT TORCHES AND SPARE BATTERIES.

During a power cut you always need torches so

that you can see, and so that you can go get food or

water or to play a board game. You need them you

continue doing things you need to do.

Spare batteries are very important as you need

them in case the ones in your torch die.

TALK TO PARENTS

When there's as power cut and you have nothing

to do. You can talk to your parents, It will reassure

you and you will feel more comfortable. Its also a

good chance to catch up.

When there is a power cut eating foods like salad

is good because you don’t have to heat them, which

would be using electricity.

SITUATION

I am just about to move house.

I have been to visit the place and have found the perfect bedroom. It

has big windows and fluorescent lights. A beautiful view and it’s a

nice big room.

fluorescent and always make annoying buzzing noise and

they don’t really suit my taste.
