You ready?
6
So today, I'm going to talk about natural disasters.
7
This is an interesting topic because, depending on where you live, you might have to deal with natural disasters on a regular basis.
8
Let's go through some of the most notable disasters that occur throughout the world.
9
First, let's talk about earthquakes.
10
For a lot of people, this might just be the scariest disaster because it can strike at any moment without any notice.
11
That being said, the vast majority of earthquakes are minor and cause little to no damage.
12
As a California native, I've obviously witnessed my share of earthquakes, but I've only ever really experienced one major earthquake.
13
It just so happens that I was at the gym and when the earthquake started, all the weights and machines started shaking.
14
I was definitely a little freaked out.
15
But that's really the only time I've been in a big earthquake.
16
If you live in certain parts of the world, you might never have experienced an earthquake in your whole life.
17
For example, my Brazilian students usually tell me that they've never been in an earthquake before.
18
But on the other hand, my students from Chile and Japan tell me that they feel an earthquake almost every week.
19
For most of us, that seems insane.
20
And what about you?
21
Have you ever been in an earthquake before?
22
Okay, so now let's talk about hurricanes.
23
Hurricanes can be some of the most destructive events imaginable.
24
Take Hurricane Katrina, for instance.
25
This category 5 hurricane absolutely devastated the city of New Orleans and caused almost 2,000 deaths and over $125 billion in damage.
26
Of course, not all hurricanes are this catastrophic, but all hurricanes cause some damage when they hit land.
27
Thankfully, I've never been affected by a hurricane before, since I'm from the west coast of the US, which is never affected by hurricanes.
28
But for people living on the south and east coasts, these storms pose a constant threat.
29
I can't imagine what it would feel like to know that there's a hurricane headed straight in my direction.
30
I hope I never find out.
31
Alright another natural disaster that can cause all kinds of damage is a tornado.
32
Tornados are a phenomenon that happen in the middle of the US, in states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, where the landscape is really flat.
33
You might have seen tornadoes featured in American movies before, where the people have to take shelter underground and wait for the tornado to pass by their town.
34
I'm glad that I've never gotten caught in the path of a tornado before.
35
Alright one more natural disaster that affects people all over the world is floods.
36
can happen in all kinds of different places.
37
If you live in a city that doesn't have a high level of infrastructure, it's likely that you've seen some flooding before.
38
In Mexico, for example, many parts of the big cities flood every time there's heavy rain.
39
The parts of the city that are at a lower altitude become like lakes and rivers and drivers have a hard time navigating.
40
Sometimes the cars just stop and wait for the rain to subside and for the water to clear out.
41
As you can imagine, the traffic becomes a complete mess.
42
I really hate the rainy season in Mexico because all of this is a normal occurrence.
43
Floods may not be the scariest natural disaster, but they can be a huge inconvenience and they can become dangerous.
44
Which natural disaster seems the scariest to you?
45
Alright that's all for today.
46
Leave a comment and tell me if you've ever experienced a natural disaster.

关于本课
您正在使用跟读技巧通过视频"B1 English Listening Practice - Natural Disasters"练习英语口语和发音。
每天练习15到30分钟，将显著提高您的英语流利度和发音准确度。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
