family,she noticed something strange.Thick white froth was forming on top of the
waves.Next,she saw that the waves were coming in instead of going out.

dangerous waves called tsunamis!

"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.
Tilly was right!Her mother was one of the last people on the beach,but
thankfully,her family made it to safety just as the water hit the hotel.The 2004 tsunami
caused over 200,000 deaths,but no one on the beach died that day.
This true story shows how a single lesson could mean the difference between life and
death.Thanks to her knowledge and quick thinking,one schoolgirl was able to save
over 100 lives.

Discuss the questions.
1.Do you think Tilly Smith was a hero Why
Yes, Tilly is a hero. Because she keenly noticed the signs of a tsunami with the knowledge of tsunamis she learned in geography class, and she insisted on warning her family and relevant personnel. In the end, she successfully evacuated the people on the beach and saved more than 100 lives, showing calmness, knowledge reserve and a sense of responsibility beyond her age.

Discuss the questions.
2.From Tilly's experience,what do you think people need to know to survive a natural disaster
Learn about the precursors and characteristics of various natural disasters, such as the abnormal changes of seawater before a tsunami and the signs of an earthquake.
Master basic disaster prevention and escape knowledge, and know how to evacuate to a safe area quickly when a disaster occurs.
Keep a calm mind and respond promptly to abnormal situations to remind others.
Discuss the questions.
3.What did you learn at school that might help to save your life one day
The earthquake escape skills learned at school (such as hiding under sturdy furniture, staying away from windows, etc.), fire fighting and evacuation methods, and knowledge of self-rescue and rescue for drowning can all help protect the lives of oneself and others when encountering corresponding dangers.
An earthquake hit Japan yesterday.
A typhoon landed at9oclock last night.

A Terrible but Lucky Morning (仿写
Last Monday started awfully for me.First, my bike got a flat tire, so I had to walk to school instead of riding it.WhileI was hurrying down the street with my heavy schoolbag,all of a sudden, a dog ran out in front of me and I almost tripped over it.Then, it started to rain heavily, and I didn’t have a raincoat with me.
By the timeI got to the school gate, my shoes and socks were completely wet.WhenI finally reached my classroom, out of breath, my math teacher was standing at the door with the exam papers in her hand. I thought I would definitely fail the exam because I was too flustered from the morning’s chaos.As a result, I was shocked when she said the exam was postponed to next week because the printer broke down! What a lucky turn on my terrible morning!

Last Friday,I had a really bad day. While I was having breakfast with my younger sister,the sky was growing darker and darker.I heard thunder and saw lightning. When l left the house,. …It was a stormy day with heavy rain and strong winds. The rain poured down continuously, and the wind blew so hard that it almost knocked me over.I was walking to the subway station when the bad weather started.I heard loud thunder crashing in the sky and saw lightning flashing every few seconds. The rain was so heavy that my clothes were soaked in minutes. I had to hold my bag over my head to try to stay dry.The heavy rain caused heavy traffic. The subway was delayed, and when I finally got to the office, the meeting had already ended. I also caught a cold because I was wet and cold for too long.
During the hot and dry summer last year,my family experienced the first natural disaster of our lives.We were hiking in the mountains when lightning flashed across the sky.The sky got darker and darker.And then we realized that we weren't looking at clouds.It was smoke!There was a wildfire!
Last winter,my family had a terrifying experience.It started one evening while we were enjoying a quiet night at home.My parents were watching TV while my brother was doing his homework.I,on the other hand,was glued to my bedroom window.Thick snow was falling and the wortd outside was growing whiter and whiter.

But my dad grabbed my arm and yelled, "We have to go now—the fire’s spreading fast!" I turned back and saw thick black smoke rising, and I knew he was right.
We ran to the street corner, and Dad called the fire department to tell them where the fire was. We also noticed some kids playing near the fire, so Dad waved to get them to run to safety with us.
Ten minutes later, the fire engines arrived. The firefighters put out the fire quickly before it reached the park’s trees. The fire captain even thanked us for reporting it early! It was a scary moment, but we learned how important it is to act fast when there’s danger.
