In this lesson you will: Think and Share 1a What is the worst natural diasters you know of? Discuss it with a partner. E.g. The worst natural disaster I know is the earthquake. In 2008, a big earthquake hit Sichuan, killing tens of thousands of people and leaving countless areas in ruins. Free Talk Look at the pictures. What do you think of this place? beautiful and attractive / like a paradise / a wonderful tourist spot This is Phuket—one of Thailand’s most famous islands. Every year, especially around Christmas, thousands of European and American tourists come to enjoy the warm weather and the festival atmosphere. What do you see now? destroyed houses / lots of rubbish and debris（碎片；残骸） What do you think caused the damage on Phuket island? Background This girl is Tilly Smith. She comes from Britain. In 2004, the ten-year-old Tilly travelled to Phuket island with her family to spend their Christmas holiday. Read the first paragraph of the text. Underline the strange things Tilly Smith saw by the sea. 厚厚的白色泡沫在浪尖形成。接着，她看到海浪正在涌进来，而不是退出去。 Thick white froth was forming on top of the waves. thick white froth [frɒθ] n. 泡沫 The waves were coming in instead of going out. Based on your knowledge, what is going to happen if you see these two strange things by the sea? A tsunami will come! These are two signs of tsunamis. 1b What do you think happened to Tilly Smith and her family next? Then read the rest of the text to check your answer. I think Tilly told her parents and her parents helped people on the beach to escape. Skim reading the text and match each part with its main idea. Para 1-2 Para 3-4 Para 5 Para 6 Tilly noticed tsunami signs and recalled the knowledge of tsunami. Tilly warned her family, and the security guard helped people leave the beach. Tilly’s family and all people on the beach survived. Tilly’s knowledge and quick thinking saved over 100 lives. Identifying the beginning, middle, and end of a story can help you understand the story better. Look out for words and phrases that tell you when something happens, such as next, then, finally, when, while, and two weeks before. Understanding the order of events 1c Read the text again and complete the timeline. waves tsunamis family mother hotel security guard beach 1d Read again. Circle T for true or F for false. Then correct the false statements. 1. Tilly found that the waves were moving away from the beach. 2. Tilly remembered what she read about in her geography book. 3. Tilly's father believed her as soon as she told her family about the strong waves. 4. The security guard learnt about the tsunami from Tilly's father. 5. Tilly's mother did not reach the hotel before the tsunami did. T F T F T F T F T F coming in instead of going out didn’t believe her at first reached learned in geography class Read the text again and complete the table about how different people reacted to Tilly's warning. People Reaction Key actions Tilly’s family Tilly’s father Tilly’s mother The security guard People on the beach doubt at first but choose to believe finally continued to walk but later returned to the hotel doubt at first but finally took it seriously returned to the hotel and told the security guard didn’t believe walked on beach alone took it seriously and took action right away rushed to get people off the beach began to panic screamed and ran Further Thinking The table shows most people didn't listen to Tilly at first. Why was it so HARD for a 10-year-old girl to convince others in a situation like this? Could Tilly have saved everyone entirely on her own? What couldn't she do by herself? Because she is only a child. Sometimes adults don’t take children’s words seriouly. / Because the weather was good and everything looked normal. / ... No, she couldn’t. For example, she couldn’t force all the people on the beach to leave. People wouldn’t listen to a child and she had no power to do that. What support did she get to turn the situation around? Her father told the secuirty guard about the tsunami and the security guard believed the warning and used his power to clear the beach. Role-play If you were Tilly, how would you persuade your parents to believe that a tsunami would come? “Mom! Dad! Please stop and listen to me! This is very important! Our teacher taught us that if you see thick white froth on the waves and the water is coming in but not going out, it means a tsunami is coming very soon! This is exactly what's happening now! It's not a joke! We have to run back to the hotel right now! Please, trust me!” 1e Discuss the questions. 1. Do you think Tilly Smith was a hero? Why? Yes, because she trusted herself and kept trying to warn people. Many people would have died without her warning. 2. From Tilly's experience, what do you think people need to know to survive a natural disaster? I think we need to learn the knowledge about disasters. And when the real signs appear, we must be brave and act quickly. 3. What did you learn at school that might help to save your life one day? I learned the fire safety rules at school. For example, if there is a fire, we should cover our nose and mouth with a wet cloth, stay low to the ground, and find the nearest exit. Knowledge is power, but only when it is turned into action. Language Appreciation Why does the text mention “people were swimming in the sea and relaxing on the beach” when Tilly sees the strange waves? 1. People are playing happily but they don’t know danger is coming. This contrast makes the readers feel nervous—we worry tsunami will hurt these unaware people. 2. It shows Tilly is special. Others don’t notice the strange waves, but Tilly does. Her knowledge and alertness stand out. Why does the text mention “the 2004 tsunami cause over 200,000 deaths”? What does this number tell us? 1. This is a real tragedy, not a made-up story. The number shows how terrible the tsunami was. 2. This number shows how valuable Tilly’s knowledge was. Her warning helped Phuket avoid a bigger tragedy. Language Points 1. Next, she saw that the waves were coming in instead of going out. going out在文中的意思是“（海浪）退潮；退去”。 E.g. In normal tides, waves go out and come in regularly. 在正常潮汐中，海浪会有规律地退去和涌来。 going out 外出 E.g. I don't like going out alone at night. 2. However, Tilly refused to take a single step further. 这句话的意思是“然而，Tilly拒绝再往前走一步。” refuse to do sth 拒绝做某事 E.g. He refused to give up his dream even when facing many difficulties. take a single step的字面意思为“迈出一步”，常用来表达“行动上的微小举动”或“（因害怕、恐惧等）不愿/不敢迈出任何一步” E.g. Take a single step towards your dream and you’re already closer. 3. He knew about the huge earthquake in nearby Indonesia. nearby adj. 附近的 adv. 在附近 E.g. We bought snacks from a nearby store before the movie. (adj.) A cat suddenly appeared and sat nearby. (adv.) 4. Back at the hotel, Tilly's father told a security guard about the tsunami. security guard 保安人员 security n. 安全；保安；保障 guard n. 卫兵；保卫 v. 保卫 E.g. The school has good security. There are cameras at every gate. The police officers guard(v.) the important building day and night. 5. He jumped into action right away and rushed to get people off the beach. jump into action意为“立刻行动起来；马上采取措施”。 E.g. When the alarm rang, the firefighters jumped into action and put out the fire. When the earthquake happened, the rescue team jumped into action to save the trapped people. 6. Everyone began to panic. 别惊慌，一切都会没事的！ E.g. Don’t panic! Everything will be okay. (v.) panic v. （使）恐慌；惊慌失措 n. 恐慌；惊慌 She panicked when she saw the snake. (v.) 她看到蛇时就慌了神。 The news caused a panic among the local people. (n.) 这个消息在当地人之间引起了恐慌。 7. Her mother was one of the last people on the beach, but thankfully, her family made it to safety just as the water hit the hotel. thankfully adv. 幸亏；感激地 E.g.
