**Jerry** If your house was destroyed where did you sleep?

**Jake** I had no idea were to sleep, but then I heard some people saying that there was space in the super-dome, so my family decided to sleep there.

**Jerry** How big was the super-dome?

** Jake ** The super-dome was gigantic there could be thousands of people there.

**Jerry** Was it comfortable? why?

**Jake** I think that the super dome was comfortable, but some people thought differently. I thought the super-dome was comfortable because the people working in the super-dome brought beds and towels to sleep on. Other people didn't like it because there were too many people.
