(2025扬州邗江期末)No matter where you live, you may hear about the natural disasters. They bring many serious problems to people in disaster areas. They become ill, homeless and some of them even die in the disasters.
Japan is located in East Asia, but it is an island in the North Pacific Ocean. Japan has more than 1，000 islands, and there are four main islands. Heavy rains fall in Japan many times a year, especially in summer. There is a rainy season in early summer, and typhoons hit parts of the country every year during late summer.
The heavy rains usually destroy the crops and plants. What's worse, the rains usually cause huge floods. Floods in Japan can take away many things, including many people's lives. A Japanese housing developer recently invented a “flood resistant house”. It can not only keep water out of the house during floods but also float(漂浮) off the ground.
Because of floods, the loss of housing is a difficult problem all over the world. While engineers are trying to find solutions, few ways are useful. Now, the Japanese housing developer tells the public that he came up with an answer the other day. It can keep people's homes from getting flooded. A new “flood resistant house” was recently on a popular Japanese TV show and received much attention online.
According to engineers, most houses will be in the flood when water reaches the windows, but their “flood resistant houses” can float up to five metres above the ground. So water will not reach the windows, and everything else will be shut in the houses safely.

One day, Peter was walking on his way back home along the sea wall when it began to rain. All of a sudden, he saw a hole in the wall, from which the sea water was running. Peter shouted for help but no answer came. He realized he should do something else as quickly as possible, or the sea water could be pouring over the whole village. He started to rush towards his village. At the same time, the rain became heavier and heavier.
It was getting dark, but Peter rushed on and on. He felt cold and hungry. In the rainstorm, he fell down over and over again. Many times he thought about giving up, but he fought on. He remembered his father's words, “Lots of strong men have made every effort to build the walls which can keep the village safe from danger. The sea walls are really important.”
Finally, when the boy's father saw him, Peter had been black and blue all over. The boy told the villagers what had happened to the sea wall. They repaired it in time. “You saved the village，” they praised Peter. All the villagers called him “Peter the Guard” from then on. Peter's parents were really proud of him!

People usually feel afraid when an earthquake happens. However, if you act properly, your life can be saved. Here are some tips you should follow at school during the earthquake. First of all, you must keep calm. If you scream too much, everyone else will scream too. If you are in the classroom, you had better hide under your desk quickly. Do not move until the classroom stops shaking. Get out of the classroom one by one. If you are on the playground, just stay where you are. Don't stay in high building because it may fall down. Don't jump off the tall building if you are above the second floor.

One possible version:
Away_from_Danger
Good_afternoon,_everyone._I'm_Li_Wei._It's_a_great_honour_for_me_to_speak_here.
Lots of danger is around us, such as fire. When a building catches a fire, there will be heavy smoke. It makes people hard to see things clearly. People may run in all directions because they are afraid to get hurt.
If we are in a fire, we should cover our mouth and nose with a wet towel. To protect ourselves from thick smoke, we must stay low to the ground and try to get out as soon as possible.
That's all for my speech. Thank you.
