Imagine that you were one of the boys trapped on the beach. Describe in not more than 200
words what
you did from the time you were cut off by the tide until you finally reached the top
of the cliff. Use your own words as far as possible.

If ever I would get trapped on the beach, I would ensure our
survival until some help arrived. The top priority would be to search for
drinking water and food. I would collect as many coconuts as possible from the
coconut trees that abound on beaches. The next priority would be to find source
of food. In this emergency situation, fruit trees could be of great help. On
islands, coconut palm trees can easily be found. Fish can also be caught from
the streams of fresh water. Next priority would be to find an ideal shelter
that would be quite safe. Hammocks, high above the ground could be tied for the
safe sleep for the first night. Hammocks would keep the group members safe on
that unfamiliar beach. In order to keep the cold off, in case it got quite cold
at night, fire could be lighted. Fired could be produced by hitting two stones
against each other, or by rubbing two dry sticks vigorously. A burnt fire would
also help in keeping dangerous animals at bay. Next day we would have to devise
some methods to send SOS signals, either by burning fire and putting wet wood
or leaves on it for smoke. These are some of the measures that I would use to survive
on an unfamiliar beach. Finally I would climb a cliff to see whether
there was any boat or ship around whose help I could take to get back home.
