Earthquakes happen very quickly and violently. During an earthquake, there is often a great noise first. Then the earth shakes terribly, many houses fall down, railway tracks break and trains run off lines, a great many factories are destroyed, thousands of deaths are caused, and many more lose homes….Besides the great damage and deaths caused by the earthquake itself, other disasters such as fires often follow, more building destroyed and more deaths caused. It is well known of the dangers of a possible earthquake, and for centuries man has been making researches on earthquakes. More than 2 000 years ago, for example, a Chinese scientist named Zhang Heng invented a machine which could detect earthquakes, and this machine is still used by scientists today to detect and measure the strength of earthquakes. Now we know much more about earthquakes and why they happen, but we still cannot tell exactly when and where an earthquake will happen, and cannot stop it from happening. So earthquakes are among the worst disasters in the world. No one can stop natural earthquakes. However, scientists can help stop earthquakes destroying whole cities and causing too many deaths. In those areas where earthquakes often happen, they record mountain temperatures and take photos from the air and if anything starts to happen, they warn governments to be prepared for possible disasters so that emergency plans are put into action to lessen the disaster, probably saving many lives. Ⅱ.How to Escape a Fire Fire fighting is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save people’s lives. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone else in the family, such as stairways and emergency(紧急事件)exits, but not lifts. From the lower floors of buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way to get out from a window with the least chance of serious injury. The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average(普通的)person, hanging by the fingertips(手指尖)will have a drop of about 6 feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way down than to stay in a burning building. Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed before opening the window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked(漏)into the room. On the second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥)might end in injury. Bushes and trees can help you to have a soft landing. The First Period Teaching Aims: 1. Do some listening and speaking practice to improve the students’ listening and speaking abilities. 2.

Then the teacher may ask some students to act out their dialogues, and some others write their sentences on the blackboard.) (Picture 1) A: Do you know who the man is standing beside the machine? B: I’m not sure. A: Look at the machine carefully. Do you know what it is? B: Oh. Yes, I know it is a seismograph. A: So who do you think the man is? B: He is Zhang Heng, I think. A: Yes.

We will listen to a man who survived in the 1989 earthquake in San Francisco, in the United States. Before leistering, let’s look at the instructions and the questions you have to answer after listening to the tape. At the same time, try to guess what has happened to Hank Stram with the help of the pictures. (Teacher may ask some students to say their guesses to the class.) Step Ⅲ.Listening T: Now, you know what to do. When I play the tape for the first time, you just listen to get the general idea. The second time I play the tape, you should try to finish the exercises. The last time, check your answers. Are you clear? Ss: Yes. T: OK. Let’s begin. Listen carefully. (Teacher plays the tape for the Ss to listen and finish Ex.1 first. Help the Ss write down their answers by pausing the tape where necessary. Let the Ss listen to the tape again before completing the sentences in Ex.2. In the end, check the answers with the whole class.) Answers to Exercise 1: 1. The earthquake happened at a quarter past five in the afternoon/ 5:15 p.m. 2. The man was on his way to his daughter’s school. 3. The cars in front started to move from side to side. 4. Before the earthquake he had finished his work and gone to the post office. 5. He was going to fetch his daughter from her school.

You are even luckier than Hank. But I think you must have had some kind of difficulty with something, haven’t you? Ss: Yes. T: At that time, you must have been worried and fearful and you must have expressed your difficulty, worries and rears to someone who can help you. How did you tell him/ her in English? Ss: Help! I’m afraid… T: What did he/ she do? Ss: He/ She told me “Don’t worry.” “Don’t be afraid.”…and helped me out of my difficulty. (At this moment, teacher shows.) Useful Expressions Help! I’m afraid to … I’m afraid … It scares me. Don’t worry. Don’t be afraid. It’ll be OK/ all right. It’s all right. Well done. You can do it! Come on! That’s better. / Keep trying. T: All of them can be used to describe emotions. You should learn to use them freely in your dialogue. Next, let’s come to the Speaking Part, Look at the pictures, please. Each of them shows a situation in which someone meets with some difficulty. Imagine you are experiencing some kind of difficulty or problem showed by the picture. Before creating your own dialogue, learn the example carefully. And read the situation for each picture on next page. Do you understand? Ss: Yes. (The Ss begin to work in pairs. After a while, the teacher asks some pairs to act out their dialogues.) Sample dialogues: Situation 1: A: Help！ My family, where is my father? B: Don’t worry. Everything will be all right. A: My parents. Where are they? Have they been saved? B: Please, Be calm. It’ll be OK. A: What is the name of the hospital that you are taking me to? B: Number 44. Don’t worry. It’s all right.
