Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains, too.
    During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack (断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed.
   Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and make maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.
   In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.

At Anacostia Senior High School we have a lot of problems.We have students suspended and we have low test grades.I think this school is in need of improvement.The reasons why I believe this school needs improvement are that children are getting suspended and missing out on class work,students are failing,and the school is dirty.

The first reason why this school needs improvement is that children are getting suspended and missing out on class work.Students should not get suspended because it's like a vacation to them.They will not change their ways.Instead of putting them out of school for suspension,we should have them in school.In that way,students can still have good grades.

The second reason why I believe this school needs improvement is that students are failing.If you come to school every day you shouldn't fail.I can't blame it all on the students;it is the teachers' fault also.Some teachers do not let students in the class.This school needs tutors.If students had tutors their grades could improve.

The third reason why I believe this school is in need of improvement is that it is dirty.Who wants to walk into a dirty school every day? I don’t! If students help out,the building will stay clean.There should be no writing on the walls or eating in the halls.We need to treat our schools like we treat our homes.

These are my reasons why this school needs improvement.If we do these things we can get good grades.have a nice looking school,and students will improve their grades.By doing these things we can also have the most decent school on the other side of the fiver.
