A What’s a secondary disaster? Give an example.
B How do we get the word “secondary” from “second”?
Secondary means “happen as a result of something else”. So, “secondary disasters” means “disasters happen as a result of other disasters”. For example, a big earthquake can cause a tsunami.
We add “-ary” to the end of “second”.
Read the passage quickly. Divide the passage into parts and summarise the main idea of each part.

Disasters are terrible. Sometimes, secondary disasters are even more dangerous because they create more damages. Secondary disasters include landslides, fires, floods, and so on. Here is a serious example.
On March 11, 2011, the largest earthquake ever recorded in Japan caused great destruction. Tsunami waves hit the coastal area less than half an hour later. These waves damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. In the following days, explosions occurred the plant. More than 150,000 people had to leave the area. Lots of radioactivity got into the ocean and came down from the atmosphere.
The earthquake highlighted an important problem— disasters often cause a chain reaction, leading to more problems. If people do not deal with them properly, it will lead to greater disasters.
It is everyone’s responsibility to take action to reduce disasters or secondary disasters.
Part 1 Paragraph 1 The type and danger of secondary disasters.
Part 2 Paragraphs 2-3 The earthquake in Japan leads to more problems.
Part 3 Paragraph 4 Everyone should take actions to reduce disasters.

· Secondary disasters include landslides, fires, floods, and so on.
· The earthquake highlighted an important problem.
Compound words are formed when two or more words are combined. For example, land + slide = landslide, earth + quake = earthquake.
Derivatives are created by adding affixes (prefixes or suffixes) to existing words. For example, second + -ary = secondary, harm + ful = harmful.
