1
It's coming soon to your city.
2
Fire.
3
Destruction.
4
Chaos. And death.
5
You love to see it in the movies.
6
But are you prepared to see everything you love turn to ashes?
7
Here's how to survive.
8
5. Godzilla is a dinosaur -like monster from Japan, where it is known as Gojira.
9
That's a word combining gorilla and whale.
10
The giant monster is a result of nuclear weapons thrown in the ocean.
11
It can grow up to 150 meters tall, and has atomic breath that can melt steel with a powerful beam of blue fire.
12
No wonder they call it the king of the monsters.
13
By now, you know your chances of surviving alone are pretty slim.
14
But if the whole city works together, you might be able to take this monster down.
15
If you're in Oklahoma, Mexico City, Prague, or Moscow, don't panic.
16
Because inner cities would be harder for Godzilla to reach.
17
But if you're at the coast when Godzilla strikes, your chances of being attacked are higher.
18
So how could a whole town survive this devastating attack?
19
Just before arriving at the coast, this giant beast would cause a tsunami.
20
If people don't evacuate fast, the water would likely kill them or at least injure them.
21
The protocol from the mass evacuation and natural disasters from the camp coordination
22
and camp management in Switzerland dictates that state officials will coordinate the evacuation.
23
People who are unable to leave will be taken to a spontaneous sanctuary site.
24
That's what they did when Hurricane Katrina hit.
25
In the meantime, the government would meet in an underground bunker and agree on its humanitarian response and military tactics.
26
The UN would organize emergency relief that includes shelter and food.
27
The military would set up a perimeter around the city, prepared with tanks and firepower against a possible attack, giving citizens extra time to escape.
28
The International Atomic Energy Agency would suggest shutting down every nuclear power station to lower the risk of a nuclear emergency.
29
Atomic energy is what created this monster, so a nuclear bomb would not hurt it, and it could feed Godzilla and make it stronger.
30
But humans would be harmed by radiation, and end up with an uninhabitable city.
31
Aerial assaults would launch into action first.
32
B -52s, F -15s, and F -22s would be flying around Godzilla like mosquitoes
33
while trying not to get hit by the monster's killing breath.
34
Air Force strike teams carry conventional munitions that probably wouldn't kill the monster.
35
But the white phosphorus and unguided rockets could blind its eyes if they are organic.
36
Once Godzilla was blind, the military could use B -2 stealth bombers loaded with massive ordnance penetrators.
37
These are 13 ,607 kg precision -guided munitions designed to cut through solid rock.
38
But if the impact angle is not correct, the bombs could deflect off the monster.
39
If the air assaults are ineffective, ground soldiers would be instructed to release heavy fire with missile carrier launchers and surface -to -air missiles.
40
At this point, anything could be used in the fight, even technology that's still in development.
41
That could include the Dynetics' Lockheed Martin 100 kW high -energy laser medium tactical vehicles fleet.
42
Or, as we like to call it, a bunch of trucks with lasers on top of them. In 2019, the companies won a contract to develop and test higher -energy laser weapons
43
and it seems the time to test them is right now.
44
This powerful beam would kill Godzilla, or at least hurt it so much that it would sink back into the ocean.
45
If we didn't kill Godzilla, we'd need to draw up a plan to protect the coasts if Godzilla attacks us again.
46
And even if we kill Godzilla, there could be more giant monsters, or kaijus, arriving in the future.
47
including the son of Godzilla, or whatever the heck this is.
48
And governments would have to keep in mind that Godzilla is the direct consequence of human warfare, and make sure that a new attack against it wouldn't spawn more monsters.
49
The good news is that this giant lizard is completely fictional, so you'll never have to worry about it.
50
The bad news is that there are very real lizards on the planet who can be just as scary.
51
They may not have atomic breath, but they do have shark -like teeth that are full of venom.
52
Could you survive a Komodo dragon?

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
