We may see pictures of some of these people on the television or read about them in newspapers. We may feel shocked2 or sad – but mainly thankful that it isn’t happening to us. So we turn off the television or put down the newspaper and just continue our lives as usual. But we should remember that the unfortunate people we see on the television or read about in the newspapers are real people. Th ey’re ordinary people, just like you and me – ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
