Thank you.3 Look at the stamps of new Tangshan and discuss what had to be done to rebuild a city after an earthquake.Sample discussion:
S1: Let’s look at the stamps. They seem to show new houses, a new city center, new factories, schools, hospitals and a new port. S2: That shows how strong the earthquake must have been and how much damage there was if so much of Tangshan had to
be replaced.S1: Yes, indeed. The people of Tangshan must have had a terrible time while the earthquake was happening.
S2: Yes. I wonder how long they had to live in temporary accommodation?
S1: Well, the United Nations praised the people of Tangshan for rebuilding their city so quickly. It only took seven years.S2: There must have been so much to do: clear the site of ruined buildings; design new ones that would withstand another earthquake; bring in new building materials, bring in the workers to build the factories, homes etc. Such a lot of work!S1: Yes, and meanwhile the people had to live in tents. They must have worried a lot about how they would pay for food and clothes. Poor things!
S2: Indeed, we owe them a lot. And they made everyone aware of the dangers of earthquakes and how to prepare for another one. They themselves were survivors in more ways than one!Listening1 How would you feel if your home was suddenly destroyed without warning?
