Now, look at the pictures of Tangshan and San Francisco in warming up and describe what you e in the pictures. (beautiful cities; broad roads; tall building; large population.)
(4) What will happen if there has been a big earthquake in the two cities?
As we all know, earthquakes are disasters to everyone. But can we avoid or at least reduce the loss caud by earthquakes? Can we foretell earthquakes?
Now let’s come to Pre-reading and decide what may happen before an earthquake comes.
