What do you know about the typhoon
在气象学上，按世界气象组织定义：热带气旋中心持续风速在12级以上（即每秒32.7米至41.4米）称为台风（typhoon）或飓风（hurricane）。台风通常在热带地区离赤道平均3-5个纬度外的海面（如南北太平洋，北大西洋，印度洋）上形成，其移动主要受大尺度天气系统等影响，最终在海上消散，或者变性为温带气旋、或在登陆陆地后消散。台风常带来狂风、暴雨和风暴潮。
台风与飓风二者没有本质区别，只是不同地域称呼不同。一般来说，在太平洋上生成的热带气旋称作“台风”；而把在大西洋或印度洋上生成的热带气旋，称作“飓风”。

To learn how to prepare for bad weather or natural disasters.
Project
Make a chain story
Work in a group to make a chain story about a wildfire or a snowstorm. Read the introductions of the two stories.
4a
wildfire
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!
snowstorm
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 world outside was growing whiter and whiter.
Wildfire
野火灾（wildfire）是一种失去人为控制、在林地内自由蔓延和扩展的火灾。野火灾是突发性强、破坏性大、处置救助较为困难的自然灾害。
野火灾不仅烧死、烧伤林木，直接减少森林面积，而且严重破坏森林结构和森林环境，导致森林生态系统失去平衡，森林生物量下降，生产力减弱，益兽益鸟减少，甚至造成人畜伤亡。
Do you know
Snowstorm
Do you know
暴风雪（snowstorm），是伴随强烈的降温和大风的降水天气过程而发生的。当降水以雪的形式出现时，叫做暴风雪。
暴风雪给我们带来交通不便，也可能会给我们带来经济损失。另外，它们也十分危险，对于不熟悉的地形，我们很难判断出雪的深浅。一个人要是掉到了雪里，逃生是十分困难的。暴风雪可能会造成人和动物的伤亡。

How One Girl Saved Many Lives
On 26 December 2004, Tilly Smith, a 10-year-old English schoolgirl, and her family were on holiday in Phuket, Thailand. Everyone was enjoying the beautiful weather that morning. Some people were swimming in the sea, and some were relaxing on the beach. But while Tilly was waiting along the beach with her 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.

Just then, she remembered something important. Two weeks before, her geography teacher had explained that earthquakes under the sea could create 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.
