A big earthquake happened in Japan a few months ago. It was a 9.0 on the Richter scale(里氏).It caused a tsunami(海啸) and a nuclear leak(核泄露).Thousands of people died and millions of Japanese lost their homes.
However, the disaster didn’t cause panic(恐慌) among Japanese people. When the earthquake happened, people left dangerous places in an orderly way. After the shock, they waited in line for food and water. There was no robbing or stampeding(惊逃).
The Japanese are ready for an earthquake at any time. Almost every family has a survival kit(救生包),which has a flashlight, a radio, water and enough food for several days. It can keep people alive after an earthquake.
Many earthquakes happen in China, too. Are you ready for too next earthquake?
When an earthquake happens, protect yourself first. The life is the most important because where there is a life there is hope. Don’t go back to get your money or computers. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks(余震) may still happen. Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.
We should always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
