We learned the ways to talk about
past experiences and also the problem
of sequence, which appears in the
listening part on page 30. And we all
know why earthquakes happen in the
listening material on page 62 . We learned some basic knowledge of earthquakes
and how people have coped with these sudden natural
disasters. And we learned the ways to describe an event
in a literary way. For example, “Never before in history
has a city been completely destroyed. San Francisco is
gone. Nothing is left of it.” and so on.During an____________, the shakings make rocks rise ________and even crack open. Houses_____, people are ______or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are_________. Some villages even disappear__________.

WritingGood afternoon, everyone. My name is Wang Wei. First
of all I would like to thank Mr. Zhang Sha and the city of
Tangshan for the honour of talking to you . I would also
like to thank each of you for coming here today for this
special occasion. I’m sure all of us are goad to see that
so many people who were hurt in the quake or lost their
homes and businesses are here today. We are also glad
to see so many of the workers here who helped during
that terrible disaster. Everyone is so proud of all of you.
Did you know that some of the survivors helped others
before they helped themselves? It’s true: many thousands
of survivors worked hard to save others and to make them
feel more comfortable. Soldiers worked hour after hour; day after day, almost
without rest to help those who needed it. We are so thankful
to them as well. Now we see around us a new city, but the
spirit of its people has always been strong. How lucky I
feel to live in such a place and to see this beautiful new park
where families can come to enjoy nature. This park also
honours the survivors of the quake and those who saved
them. It honours the many thousands who rebuilt our city.
We are indeed the “Brave City of China.” Thank you. Why an outline is important?

3. going too close to power lines
( because you may be badly affected by electricity
if they fall on you.)WritingA posterWhat the poster is
about and why.The items and
why they are chosenWhat should be
avoided and whyPossible sample Poster
Earthquakes are terrible natural disasters. Although
we cannot avoid it, we can survive by making preparations.
Here are the essential things you should always take during
an earthquake.
You should take a bottle of water, it can keep you alive
for along time, if you are trapped under the ruins. Take some
fruit, in case you are hungry. And also take a torch light and
mobile. These can help you keep in touch with the outside
world, ad it is easy for rescue workers to find you quickly.
Don’t put fresh fruit in the bag as they will go bad quickly
and cause problems. Don’t take money, especially don’t go
back to take money when the house is shaking. You may be
caught in the ruins.PracticeWrite a poster in class according to the three
