The Hong Kong Observatory is watching Storm Maysak. The storm is moving toward Hainan Island.

香港天文台正關注風暴梅莎克。該風暴正向海南島移動。

The storm is moving northwest. It will hit Hainan Island. It will stay 500 kilometers away from Hong Kong.

風暴正向西北方向移動。它將擊中海南島。它將與香港保持500公里的距離。

Hong Kong has a yellow warning signal until Saturday. The storm might get stronger. But the experts think this is not likely.

香港將發布黃色警告訊號直到週六。風暴可能會增強，但專家認為可能性不大。

There is heavy rain and strong wind. Some winds were 80 kilometers per hour on Friday. Do not go to the beach or the sea.

目前有強風大雨。週五部分風速達到每小時80公里。請勿前往海邊或出海。

Hong Kong is waiting and watching the storm.

香港正持續關注該風暴。

Look at how the story talks about time. It uses two different ways to describe the storm:

1. Things happening RIGHT NOW We use is + verb-ing. This is for things in motion.

2. Things that happen LATER We use will + verb. This is for a future guess or a plan.

💡 Simple Rule for A2: If it is moving like a movie 🎥 → use -ing. If it is a prediction 🔮 → use will.
