2. Date published February 23rd, 2011

3. Author’s name Reuters

4. Title of the article Slain U.S. yachters lived for adventure

5. A summary of the article

This article is about four people from California who were killed. Phyllis Macay, Bob Riggle, Jean Adam, and Scott Adam were traveling on a yacht called the Quest. They hoped to sail around world for 8-10 years. Their yacht was hijacked off the coast of Somali. Then they were killed by pirates.

6. Your opinion about the article

I have heard about the hijackings of big ships off the coast of Somali. Usually people are not killed. The pirates want money from the companies that own the ships. I was very surprised that the pirates would kill four people sailing in a small boat. I think Somali is a very dangerous place.
