Sample
Earthquakes
An earthquake is a serious natural disaster. It’s often caused by movements deep inside the earth.
An earthquake can cause many problems. For example, during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, roads were cut off and a lot of homes were destroyed. People were trying to find a safe place.
To get ready for an earthquake, we can learn some knowledge about ways to stay safe. There is also technology warning people before an earthquake.
During an earthquake, it’s important to stay calm. You should hide in a safe place and protect your head.
Getting back to life after an earthquake isn’t easy. People should encourage each other to look forward.
