Unit 4 : A House Could Be Destroyed in Seconds Typhoons and Earthquakes Many people spend all their lives working hard to own a house. However, a house could be destroyed in seconds by a typhoon or an earthquake. Typhoons can be very dangerous. Each year, Taiwan is hit by several typhoons. A typhoon can bring a lot of rain and strong winds. Both of them can cause serious damages. Trees and signs can be blown down roads may be washed away, and bridges can be damaged. Some people even lose their lives. Earthquake can do a lot of damage, too. On September 21, 1999, a strong earthquake hit Taiwan. Many schools and houses were knocked down, and more than 2, 000 people were killed. This was one of Taiwan’s worst earthquakes. We can’t stop typhoons and earthquakes from happening, but we can take action to protect ourselves. For example, bring pot plants inside ad stay in the house during a typhoon. When an earthquake hits, stay away from windows and watch out for falling objects. If we are well prepared, we can reduce the damage.

Unit 4 : A House Could Be Destroyed in Seconds (At school) n Peter: Did you feel the earthquake last night? n Kelly: Yes, I did. I was woken up by the earthquake. n Peter: The good news is that the earthquake didn’t cause too much damage. n Kelly: Yeah, but I was really scared because it made me think of the 921 earthquake. n Peter: I think people in Taiwan will never forget that day. n Kelly: Not me for sure. Our house was destroyed in that earthquake. n Peter: I’m sorry to hear that. n Kelly: It’s OK. It’s all over now. In fact, we were lucky that nobody in our family was hurt. Also, we got a lot of help from others. Food, sleeping bags, and blankets were sent to us after the earthquake. n Peter: I guess sometimes bad things can bring out the best in people. n Kelly: That’s true. We should always do our best to help others when they are in need. n
