Natural disasters are common around the world. Different disasters happen in different places. For example, earthquakes often happen in places where the earth’s plates meet. Typhoons usually form in the warm ocean waters near the equator. Floods often happen near rivers or after heavy rains.
Humans can’t stop natural disasters, but we can prepare for them. Scientists study disasters to learn more about them. They can predict some disasters, like typhoons and floods, days or weeks before they happen. This helps people get ready and stay safe.
It’s also important for people to know what to do during a disaster. For example, during an earthquake, we should hide under a strong table and stay away from windows. During a typhoon, we should close the doors and windows and move outdoor things inside.

Storm chasing is a dangerous job. Storm chasers are people who follow and study severe storms like tornadoes. They want to learn more about storms to help scientists make better forecasts and keep people safe.
Tim Samaras was a famous storm chaser. On May 31, 2013, Tim and his team went to Oklahoma, the US, to chase a tornado. The tornado was huge—4.2 kilometers wide, with winds topping 480 kilometers per hour. It behaved in an unexpected way: it grew rapidly and changed direction quickly.
Tim and his team tried to collect data about the tornado. But suddenly, the tornado changed direction and hit their car. All three men in the car died. Tim’s work was very important. His data helped scientists understand tornadoes better.
Today, storm chasing is still dangerous. But many storm chasers still do this job. They hope their work can save more lives.

**参考范文:**
Dear Tom,
I’m glad to tell you about the natural disasters in my hometown and how we deal with them.
My hometown is a coastal city. The common natural disasters here are typhoons and heavy rains. Typhoons often come in summer. They blow down many trees, damage houses and even cause floods.
To keep safe, we learn a lot about disaster safety at school. We prepare emergency bags with water, food and medicine at home. When we hear disaster warnings, we follow them quickly. Most importantly, we must stay calm in danger.
Yours,
Li Hua
