II. READ. THEN DO TASK 1. Task 1: Listen and read. Then practice with a partner * Earthquakes:
Ninty percent of earthquake occur around the Pacific Rim, which is knowed as the " Ring of Fire". In 1995, a earthquke struck the city of Kobe in Japan. A large number of people were killed when homes, office block and highways collsaped * Tidal wave:
Tidal waves are the result of an abrupt shift in underwater movement of the Earth. In 1960, huge tidal wave hit Anchorage, Alaska. The tidal wave traveled from Alaska to California! * Typhoons:
When a tropical storm reaches 120 kilometers per hour, it is called a hurricane in North and South America, a cyclone in Australian, and a typhoon in Asia. The word "typhoon" comes from Chinese: "tai" mean "big" and "feng" mean "wind", so the word "typhoon" mean "big wind". * Volcanoes:
We can usually predict when a volcano will erupt. Mount Pinatubo, which is a vocalno in the Philipines, erupted in 1991. It was the world’s largest volcanic eruption in more than 50 years. Hundreds of people died, but thousands were saved because scientists had warned them about eruption. * Tornadoes:
Tornadoes are funnel-shaped storms which pass overland below a thunderstorm. They can suck up anything that is in their path. In Italy in 1981, a tornado lifted a baby, who was asleep in its baby carriage, into their air and put down safely 100 meters away! 2. Task 2: The following statements are True (T) or False (F):
