Listening Earthquake firetyphoonfloodEarthquake / break out/1976/ TangshanFlood /1998 / South ChinaNatural DisasterstyphoonflooddroughtearthquakeQuestion: Have you ever experienced a terrible disaster and became a survivor?Pre-listening----prediction (1m)Listen to the tape and then tell
whether they are true or false.1. The writer was sleeping downstairs when the earthquake broke out.
2. The writer threw away his clothes and rushed out.
3. Many huge buildings were shaking – rocks and bricks were falling.FFT4. A lot of people were buried under the ruins.
5. Some cows were killed in the fire.
6. The writer remembers clearly how he got into the boat.TFFI awoke as I was thrown from my bed. When I tried to walk, the floor shook
so that I fell. I grabbed my clothing and hurried downstairs. Suddenly the lights went out, and everyone rushed for the door. Outside I saw things I never want to see again. It was daytime. Listening textThe air was filled with falling rocks. People around me were getting buried under buildings that were crashing down. Other huge buildings were shaking. Every moment there were terrible sounds. I asked a man standing next to me what happened. Before he could answer, hundreds of bricks fell on him and he was killed. All around me were great fires. As I ran people everywhere were crying and calling for help. I thought the end of the world had come! Then I met a man who knew the way to a boat, and we ran in its direction. Men, women and children were trying to dig themselves out of the ruins. Thousands of people, crazy with worry, were running down the street and every minute someone was hit by falling bricks. In some places, the streets had cracks and opened. Huge holes were all around me. I saw many frightened cows rush up Market Street and drop into a great crack in the earth. How I reached
the boat I cannot say. Some people even tore the clothes from the backs of others as they tried to get into the boat. Later, the survivors searched for water they could drink. People slept on the streets and hills away from the fires, which made the night bright as day. Soldiers kept water from the crowds to give to the rescue workers. The next day the soldiers found more water and some bread to give to those still alive.Listening on Page 62
Listen to the tape and tell whether
they are true or false.1. Inside the earth there are a number of plates.
2. These plates move all the time.
3. If they stop moving there is an earthquake.
4. If they jump there is an earthquake.FFFT5. China is in an earthquake area.
6. The Pacific plate is pushing on China from the east.
7. The Himalayan mountains were caused by the movement of plates.
8. Human beings have the power to stop earthquakes. TTTFEarth plates jump and produce shock waves.Moving at 5.3 cm a year5-6 meters to the north.Complete the following table.China from the east to the west.China from the southwest to the northwest.Not building where
plates meet; building on rock; building strong houses.Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates. At San Francisco, the Pacific plate which is moving towards the northeast meets the North American plate. The Pacific plate is moving very slowly-at 5.3 centimeters a year. Listening textThen suddenly, they jump and an earthquake is felt. As a result of the movement of these plates, California has always had a lot of earthquakes. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 5-6 metres to the north.
China also has an unlucky place on the earth. The Pacific is also pushing on China from the east as the platemoves west. Likewise, the Indian plate is pushing on China from the southwest as that plat moves northwest. The same power that produced the great Himalayan Mountains now causes earthquakes in China.
We cannot stop earthquake, but we can do things to make sure they do not destroy whole cities. First, it is not a good idea to build the houses along the lines where two of the earth’s plates join together. Second, if you think there may be an earthquake, it is better to build houses on rock than on sand. Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may stay up.Listening task on P66 Listening text Practise and prepare
Since the San Francisco earthquake, all children in California have been taught what to do during an earthquake. Teachers: Now, students, do you remember what you have to do before the earthquake comes?S1: Yes. We must make an earthquake
plan.
T: Good and what’s that?
S2: It’s a list of things you should do if an
earthquake comes. It should tell us
what to do, where to be safe and who
to contact.
T: Right. So what are these things?S1: What we must do when the
earthquake comes is “drop, cover
and hold”
T: What dose that mean?
S2: We must drop to the floor and protect
our head and neck with our arms.
Then we must cover ourselves by
hiding under some furniture like a
table. That will protect us from things
falling on top of us. Finally we must
hold onto the furniture so it doesn’t
move away from us during the
earthquake.
T: Well done.That’s fine. You’ll be safe in
the classroom but what if you’re
outside?S1:To be safe, you must move to an
open space. Keep away from power
lines, trees, signs, cars and buildings.
T : Excellent. You’ve remembered well.
Now where can you be safe if you are
in the living room where books and
the television are kept?S2: If you are careful you’ll already have
fastened the bookcases to the wall.
You should also have tied the
television to a table so it can’t
move. Nobody wants to be killed by
their own furniture.
T: Quite right. What must we
remember to do if we are in the
house alone when the earthquake
starts?S2: I know. We must ring a family
friend to tell them where we are .We
must also collect our personal
earthquake bag and go to the
emergency shelter if there is one
near our house.
T: Ok . So for your homework I want
you to think about what you might
put into the bag .We’ll discuss
tomorrow.The EndThank you !
