Background
information + detailed information
The most Powerful earthquake in the past 40 years caused a tsunami that crashed into coastlines across Asia yesterday, killing more than 6,500 people in Indonesia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and at least four other countries. Fishermen, tourists, hotels, homes, and cars were swept away by huge waves caused by the strong earthquake that reached a magnitude of 9.0. The undersea quake struck around 7:00 a.m., Sunday off the west coast of Indonesia’s Sumatra Island. In that area alone, at least 1,870 people were killed.

In Sri Lanka, some 1,600 kilometres west of the quake centre, the number or deaths stood at 2,498, and one million more were affected by the tsunami, government officials said. Indian officials said as many as 1,900 had been killed along the southern coast. Another 254 were found dead in Thailand and in three countries. In southern Thailand, 1,900 people were hurt and many more were missing, local officials said. “I was having breakfast with my three children when water started filling my home. We had to leave everything and run to safety,” said Chandra Theeravit, a local Thai woman.
Reading
Thousands of people are still missing, and the number of deaths is expected to grow even higher over the next few days. Foreign aid is being organized for the tsunami-hit countries. However, dangerous conditions and damaged roads will make it difficult to deliver food and supplies.

An Unforgettable Mountain-Climbing Activity
With the purpose of encouraging students to take outdoor exercise, our school organized a mountain-climbing activity last Sunday. More than one thousand students and thirty teachers of Senior Three participated in it.
At 7:00 a.m., we gathered at the foot of Meihua mountain and then set out for the top. Along the way we were chatting, singing, laughing and enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery.When some fell behind, others would offer help. About two hours later, we all reached the top, feeling tired but happy.
The activity turned out to be a great succeess. Not only did the activity help us build up our strength, but it also strengthened our perseverance.
THANKS
