Discuss and say
Lisa’s family was worse prepared
because they didn’t get enough necessary things ready before the possible disaster. They were not careful enough and did not take the danger seriously.
Next time a typhoon comes, Lisa’s family will probably take it more seriously. They will get ready early, prepare enough food and daily things, and make full preparations to keep safe.

can help us stay safe and protect
ourselves better.
