1.Have you ever seen that frogs were here and there on the streets?
2. Have you ever heard of something strange or anomalies before earthquakes?
3. What should we do to protect ourselves if earthquake occurs?
The possible answers:
Have you ever seen that frogs were here and there on the streets?
I haven’t seen such a situation, but it is said that frogs would be here and there on the street if earthquake occurs.
No, I haven’t. But I learned it from a magazine. It is said that the animal behaviour anomaly appeared before earthquake.
2. Have you ever heard of something strange or anomalies before earthquakes?
1) Yes, I have. I heard of that the earthquake cloud appear, animals panic, dogs howls endlessly before earthquakes.
2) It is said that ducks and geese do not go into the water, fish jump out of the water before earthquakes.
3) Yes, I have. I’ve heard of that some abnormal phenomena appeared before an earthquake. For example, the groundwater anomalies etc.
3. What should we do to protect ourselves if earthquake occurs?
1) According to the books on earthquake knowledge, If you are in the house when earthquake occurs, don't rush out of the house directly. The expedient is to hide under a solid bed or table. If you don't have solid furniture, you should stand at the door, because the door frame is somewhat protective.
2) It is said that do not close to buildings, trees, power poles or any other tall buildings that may collapse if you are outdoors when earthquake occurs, and run to the open space as far as possible. To avoid losing balance in the earthquake, you’d better lie on the ground.
3) In my opinion, if earthquake occurs, we should keep our head clear, and find a triangle area place to protect ourselves, such as under a furniture, or in a corner. The most important thing we should do is to take some water with us.
