Know how to introduce a bad weather day by reading
Last Friday started terribly. First, my alarm clock didn’t go off, so I woke up late and had to rush to the bus stop. I had a test that morning, so I was reviewing my notes while I was waiting for my bus. All of a sudden, thunder rolled across the sky. Then it started to pour. The wind was too strong for me to use my umbrella! By the time the bus came, I was cold and wet. I was still worrying about the test when the bus driver said that we would be late. There was a landslide along our usual road. When I finally reached my classroom, out of breath, my teacher was already waiting at the door. Many others were also late because of the rainstorm. As a result, she said we weren’t having a test after all! What luck on my unlucky day!
Skim the passage and find out what happened to Ma Li.
Ma Li experienced a series of unfortunate events last Friday.

A bad day
Last Wednesday, I had a really bad day. It was stormy. The wind howled outside, and the heavy rain hit the window loudly.
I woke up late because my alarm clock didn’t go off. I rushed to catch the bus, but it left just as I arrived. So I had to walk to school in the rain. My shoes and uniform got completely wet. When I finally got to school, I found I’d left my math homework at home.
My teacher was angry and asked me to finish it after class.
I felt cold and upset all day. All I wanted was that the day would end soon. By evening, I even caught a slight cold. What an unlucky day!

Activity 3
Make a chain story
4a
Work in a group to make a chain story about a wildfire or a snowstorm. Read the introductions of the two stories.
During the hot and dry summer last year, my family experienced the first natural disaster of our lives. We were hiking in the mountains when lightning flashed across the sky. The sky got darker and darker. And then we realized that we weren’t looking at clouds. It was smoke! There was a wildfire!
Learn about the story elements.

Problem(问题) 闪电引发野火,烟雾弥漫 “lightning flashed across the sky” / “It was smoke! There was a wildfire!”
Last winter, my family had a terrifying experience. It started one evening while we were enjoying a quiet night at home. My parents were watching TV while my brother was doing his homework. I, on the other hand, was glued to my bedroom window. Thick snow was falling and the world outside was growing whiter and whiter.

Sample
“Look!” my brother shouted. “I can see the fire over there!” I had my phone out. I was ready to call for help.
My dad shouted, “Wildfire! Let’s run back!” My mother shouted, “Be quick! And be careful!” My father called the firefighters and told them that a wild fire had broken out here. Then we ran down the mountains.
At last, we were safe. And the firefights came, they put out the fire.
Wildfire
Sample
Suddenly, I heard a loud crack — a big branch broke because of the heavy snow. Then all the lights went out. We were in complete darkness.
My mother lit some candles while my father checked the window. We heard a knock on the door. It was our neighbor. “My wife is sick. Can you help?” he asked. My father followed him into the snowstorm. Two hours later, he came back and said, “She’s fine now.”
Although the snowstorm was scary, it brought our neighbors closer together.
Snowstorm
Reflecting
1. Can you name different natural disasters and talk about their impacts?
2. Can you describe people’s actions before, during, and after a natural
disaster?
3. Can you talk about what you were doing during an event in the past?
4. How should we prepare for and stay safe in bad weather or natural
disasters?
Nature is both a kind mother and a cold-blooded killer.
