Sample
How to survive a tornado
It is often said that tornadoes are nature's most violent storms. When a tornado strikes, your every choice can mean the difference between life and death.
Surviving in a building
Move immediately to an underground shelter, whenever possible. At the first sign of a tornado, or if a tornado warning has been issued, stop whatever you're doing and seek appropriate shelter immediately, even if you don't see a tornado. A warning means an actual tornado has been sighted or indicated by radar.
Stay in a windowless room on the lowest level, if you can't go underground. In a building with no basement, avoid windows and go to the lowest floor. Alternatively, seek shelter in a small room that is located near the center of the house, under a stairwell, or in an interior hallway with no windows. Regardless of where you are, crouch low to the ground or lie down, face down and cover your head with your hands and arms. Take cover under a strong table if possible, and cover yourself with a mattress, cushions, or blankets.
Know where not to seek shelter. Not all hiding spots are created equally. The following locations should be your absolute last resort during a tornado, as they all have the potential to be severely damaged by high winds.
Surviving out in the open
Know the warning signs of potential tornadoes. Being able to quickly determine your risk is one of the key steps to finding shelter and surviving. Unfortunately, there are few proven ways to stay safe in the open if caught in a tornado, and the number one advice is to find shelter as soon as you see these warning signs. Most tornadoes are accompanied by thunderstorms, hail, and, of course, high winds, but there are other things to look out for as well.
Drive, if possible, to the nearest shelter. If you hear the warning and it is still safe to drive, get to the closest building you can find. Keep your seat belt on and get off the open road as soon as you can. Turn on your high beams and move immediately to some sort of structure, preferably with a basement. You are almost always better off in a building than in your car.
Preparing for a tornado
Pay attention to tornado watches and warnings. A tornado watch means that there is a threat of tornadoes within your area and that you should keep an eye on the news. A tornado warning is much more serious. Tornado warnings mean that a sign of rotation has been detected and that you should take immediate action depending on the tornado's location and its predicted track.
Craft an emergency plan in your house. Make a plan for where to go during a tornado. Have this plan in place and practiced before you need it. Everyone you live with should know exactly which room of the house to go to in the event of a tornado. Make sure that this room is stocked with all necessary provisions.

lines 25-26: Each one wanted to encourage the other, but no one was really sure about what’s going to happen. They were getting weak.
lines 33-36: Although they were facing extreme difficulties, no one wanted to show the weakness. All the team members wanted to act like a gentleman and die bravely.
lines 41-42: Scott fully understood that they could not pull through and they came to their final time. He thought the exploration was worthwhile, but it just cost too much.
lines 44-45: These were Scott’s last words.

1. Why do you think the writer of the text used the word "race" in the title
The word “race” may have the following meanings in the text:
It’s a race between Scott’s team and Amundsen’s team to see who can get into the Pole first.
For Scott’s team, it’s a race between survival and death.
For Scott’s team, it’s also a race between the terrible condition the team face and their perseverance and bravery.
2. Why was the world shocked by Scott's death
People were shocked by Scott’s death possibly because:
Scott and his team members died so bravely.
They didn’t give away the stones even in such bad conditions.
They got within just 11 miles of one of their food bases.
They died in the way of a gentleman.

1. Would you say that Scott and his team were losers Why or why not
Even though Scott and his team lost the race to the Pole, they showed true determination and strength of character which is seen in heroes. Scott and his team are inspirational and not losers. Scott's team had always kept their goals in mind. They carried the rocks even in extremely difficult situations. The spirit and what they have done helped followers do further research.
2. How do you understand Amundsen's saying about Scott's death "Captain Scott left a record, for honesty, sincerity, for bravery, for everything that makes a man"
Captain Scott wrote a diary detailing his journey, each entry was truthful and honest. He was honest about the feelings of his team and his fears. Captain Scott and his team brought back rocks for research, they did not only think about themselves but also about the greater good of humankind and the effect of the research.

5. What is the story trying to say about the relationship between humans and nature
1. What were the three observations the storyteller made
2. Why did the storyteller survive while his elder brother didn’t
The three observations were: the large objects fell into the whirlpool quicker and the round objects and tube-shaped objects did not go into the whirlpool as quickly.
The fisherman survived because he was calm in the whirlpool and made clear observations. Based on the observation, he saved himself by tying himself to a barrel to help him float and jumped into the sea.
3. What does the storyteller mean by “it took only six hours to break my body and soul”
4. What lessons have you learnt from the story Give your reasons.
The Moskoe-storm lasted six hours . This broke his body as the storm battered him about. It broke his soul as he lost two brothers in that time. The terror of the maelstrom has had a very negative effect on his mind and body, which he doesn’t think they will ever recover from.
From this story, we learn that staying calm is very important even when we are in extremely dangerous situation. At the same time, we should observe what is happening and try to find out ways to escape from the danger.
5. What is the story trying to say about the relationship between humans and nature
The story show the following relationships between humans and nature.
※ Humans depend on nature.
※ Human power is small compared with nature.
