Pompeii is an ancient Roman city which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. From the picture we can see the city remains. Even having undergone such severe destruction, we can see the city must have been well built before it was destroyed by the volcanic eruption.
庞贝城是亚平宁半岛西南角坎帕尼亚地区一座历史悠久的古城，西北离罗马约240千米，位于意大利南部那不勒斯附近，维苏威火山西南脚下10千米处。西距风光绮丽的那不勒斯湾约20千米，是一座背山面海的避暑胜地，始建于公元前6世纪，公元79年毁于维苏威火山大爆发。但由于被火山灰掩埋，街道房屋保存比较完整，从1748年起考古发掘持续至今，为了解古罗马社会生活和文化艺术提供了重要资料。
2016年6月，庞贝古城被评为世界十大古墓稀世珍宝之一。

What was the city of Pompeii like before the volcano erupted
It was a typical Roman city. Trading ships bringing imports to the city or carrying exports overseas, along with golden pleasure boats for the rich, were crowded together in the glassy water of the port. The boats of the fishermen moved rapidly in all directions.

Pompeii was a typical Roman Empire port city. Trading ships, busy fishing boats and pleasure boats showed a prosperous city. But the last day of Pompeii ended with a volcanic eruption: the earth shook and buildings fell down while people ran away from an ash cloud that was rolling towards them. Then Pompeii was showered with ashes and burning stones. Seventeen centuries later, Pompeii’s ruins were discovered with half-finished columns and paint on the walls that still looked fresh. The remains of Pompeii are a reminder that human life is short and vulnerable in the face of natural disasters.
How does the author create a sense of fear and confusion during the volcanic eruption
In paragraph 3, the author uses the phrases “the cries of women”, “the earth shaking” and “shower of ashes” to let the reader hear, feel and see what is happening in Pompeii at that moment. Similes help the reader visualize what is happening: “the mountain-cloud seemed to roll towards them, dark and rapid, like a river”.
In paragraph 4, verb-ing forms like “running, pressing, pushing” create feelings of confusion because they show that these actions are happening at the same time. Fear is created with phrases like “wife was separated from husband, or parent from child” showing that in the darkness, everyone in Pompeii risked being separated — no one was safe.
People in Pompeii were not aware of the signs before the volcano erupted, and the city was destroyed. Do you think that we will be better able to protect ourselves from natural disasters in the future Why or why not
Yes, I believe we will be better able to protect ourselves from natural disasters in the future. The development of science and technology will improve the ability to predict the arrival of natural disasters and help us be better organised and prepared for disasters.
No. No matter how advanced science and technology may be in the future, natural disasters will always challenge us because most of them are unpredictable. Human technical skill will never match the power of nature so our ability to protect ourselves will always be limited and this means that we will always be victims of natural disasters in some way.
As Victor Hugo says, Nature is kind of a loving mother, but also a butcher in cold blood.
　　大自然是一位慈爱的母亲，也是一位冷酷无情的屠夫。
