How does a typhoon affect our lives?

There would be ...
Things we can do to prepare for the typhoon:

Put away/move off things on the balcony (e.g. flowers and plants).
Make sure all the windows are closed and covered with tape(胶带).
Prepare some emergency supplies: flashlight with extra batteries, power banks...
玻璃在强风冲击下容易因局部应力集中而破裂。贴“米”字形胶带后,胶带形成的交叉网格能将外力均匀分散到整个玻璃表面,避免应力集中于一点。同时,胶带能干扰玻璃的自然振动频率,降低因风压引起的共振效应,从而减少玻璃因高频振动而碎裂的风险。
Now, let’s read the conversation between Haitao and Lisa to find out whose family was better prepared for the typhoon.
Listen and read.
Haitao: Hi, Lisa. Did your family have any trouble during the typhoon?
Lisa: Yes, it was awful.
Haitao: I’m sorry to hear that. Did you know that a typhoon was coming?
Lisa: No, we didn’t know about it. We were driving home from our relatives’ house when the strong winds started.
Haitao: Oh no! It’s dangerous to travel during a typhoon.
Lisa: I know. It was raining hard while we were driving back. We almost got into an accident when a truck nearly hit us.
Haitao: Oh dear, I’m glad you were safe!
Lisa: Yes, but when we got home later, we found water everywhere. The house looked awful! Was yours OK?
Haitao: Yes. Luckily, we covered our windows and moved our things off the floor before the typhoon started. We stored food and water too.
Lisa: That’s good! We’ll do that next time.

moved our things off the floor 在台风来临前,把放在地板上的物品(比如家具、电器、箱子、书籍等)转移到更高的位置(比如桌子上、架子上),这样做是为了防止台风带来的雨水倒灌进屋里时,这些物品被水浸泡损坏。这是应对台风时很实用的一项准备措施。
