Listening and Talking
Teacher: Thank you, Mrs Fors. That was a great presentation! Class, do you have any questions for Mrs Fors
Student 1: Mrs Fors, I think you’re a hero. And Lucky is very cute. I’d like to know what we can do to prevent natural disasters.
Ms Fors: Well, there’s no way to prevent earthquakes and storms. But if we prepare, we can keep them from becoming disasters that kill or injure people. To be ready, we should make a safety list of what to do, where to go, and who to contact.
Student 1: So what should we do if there’s an earthquake
Ms Fors: Remember to “drop, cover, and hold on”. Drop down onto your hands and knees, cover your
head with your hands, and stay away from glass, windows, or anything that could fall. You could find cover under a desk or table. Hold on to the desk or table so it doesn’t move away from you.
Teacher: What should we do if we’re outside when an earthquake happens
Ms Fors: Go to an open space away from buildings, trees, or power lines.
Student 2: And what about after an earthquake
Ms Fors: Well, if you’re trapped, you can use a cell phone to call or text for help. You can also tap on a pipe or a wall, or whistle for help. That way Lucky and I can find you!
Student 2: I have a question for Lucky. Do you like being a rescue dog
Ms Fors: Lucky, what do you say
[Sound of dog barking twice]
