Post-reading.
Geography and science knowledge: understand the causes and warnings of natural disasters like tsunamis.
Disaster safety rules:
know what to do in a fire, a flood or an earthquake, like how to use a fire extinguisher and how to put out a fire correctly.
Disaster drills: train our bodies to react quickly (e.g., drop, cover, hold on during an earthquake).
First aid skills: learn how to stop bleeding, or perform simple CPR(心肺复苏术).
What can we do to prepare for the worst?
First, learn geography well— so we understand disasters.
Second, learn first aid and escape(逃生) skills.
Third, follow safety rules and take drills seriously.
And if we can, share what we learn with others.

“I know what’s going to happen! There’s going to be a big wave,” Tilly cried. Unfortunately, her family didn’t believe her and wanted to continue their walk. However, Tilly refused to take a single step further. Finally, her mother decided to continue the walk alone, and the rest of her family returned to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Tilly’s father told a security guard about the tsunami. The security guard was shocked. He knew about the huge earthquake in nearby Indonesia. It meant that a tsunami was possible! He jumped into action right away and rushed to get people off the beach. Everyone began to panic. People were screaming and running as fast as they could when they saw a huge wall of water coming from the sea.
