Despite the task I am about to explain all causes of these natural disasters. In the first picture I see a scull of somebody like a sheep. It's lying on the field, where there is no any grass. This is the result of the desertification. I consider that the main reason of the desertification is world average temperature which is going up from year to year. Scientists call it the greenhouse effect.
In the second picture is the flood. This natural disaster becomes more and more popular nowadays. Sometimes the reason for the flood is a hurricane, which could break a dam. Another reason for the flood is cyclone, which stay at the same place for a long time. Finally, if you are a citizen of a port city like Tokyo or Rotterdam, you could be a victim of the tsunami.
In the third picture I see the storm or hurricane. The speed of the wind is really high. A reason for the storm could be the mixture of warm and cold air.

Excellent! 

Though I think a tsunami hitting Rotterdam is a little unlikely...

That's absolutely true. The damage counts a billion rubles. We are shocked. Perhaps, it's the end of the world.

Despite the task I am about to explain all causes of these natural disasters. In the first picture I see a skull of somebody like a sheep. It's lying on the field, where there is no any grass. This is the result of the desertification. I consider that the main reason of the desertification is world average temperature which is going up from year to year. Scientists call it the greenhouse effect. In the second picture is the flood. This natural disaster becomes more and more popular nowadays. Sometimes the reason for the flood is a hurricane, which could break a dam. Another reason for the flood is cyclone, which stay at the same place for a long time.

Despite the task, I am about to explain all the causes of these natural disasters.

In the first picture I see a skull of something like a sheep. It's lying in the field, where there is no any grass. This is the result of the desertification. I consider that the main reason for the desertification is because the world's average temperature which is going up from year to year. Scientists call it the greenhouse effect.

In the second picture there is a flood. This natural disaster is becoming more and more common nowadays. Sometimes the reason for the flood is a hurricane, which has breached a dam. Another reason for the flood is a cyclone, which remains in the same place for a long time. Finally, if you are a citizen of a port city like Tokyo or Rotterdam, you could be the victim of a tsunami.

In the third picture I see a storm or a hurricane. The speed of the wind is really high. One reason for the storm could be the mixture of warm and cold air.

Молодец, Тим! Так держать!

Tim, despite the corrections, your essay was perfectly understandable. That was a good piece of complex writing. Скоро вы будет писать и говорить как англичанин! Джон.
