BR1-15: Earthquakes

  An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth’s surface. (p.4)

  Of course, everyone knows the earthquake occurred four months ago in Tohoku area. Not only the earthquake, but also tsunami broke out. Hearing the news, I was too surprised and struck dumb with astonishment. Before I read this book, I know how earthquakes happen in science class. When I heard science teacher’s lecture, I was too scary about it. However, I was also afraid of it after I read this book. I practiced taking shelter from elementary school student to high school student. I think training is very important for us. I also think I wonder when the earthquakes happen. Incidentally, I prepare emergency foods such as noodles and underwear if the earthquakes happen. (114 words)
