Difficult Words Listening Comprehension
The Lighthouse at Pelican Point
On Saturday morning, Lachlan joined a coastal clean-up at Pelican Point. The wind was fierce, and the sea looked turbulent: waves churned and crashed against the rocks. Near the old lighthouse, Lachlan spotted a peculiar object half-buried in the sand. It was a brass instrument with a cracked glass face. A volunteer named Omar suggested they investigate before moving it. They examined the object carefully and noticed a tiny inscription: “For measuring the tide.” Omar explained that an inscription is writing carved or marked onto a surface. The instrument was a tide gauge, once used by lighthouse keepers to record the sea’s height. Lachlan was fascinated. She had assumed the gauge was useless, but its sturdy design had protected it from the salt and sand. The discovery was extraordinary—not because the gauge was enormous or valuable, but because it revealed how people had studied the coast long ago. Lachlan and Omar reported it to the local museum so an expert could assess it. Before leaving, Lachlan wrote down the details. A careful observation, she realised, could turn an ordinary beach walk into a small piece of history.
