The article for this week will be 'How to survive a disaster' from Time magazine.
Please click the address above that will take you to the article.
Read it through and bring your own ideas about the article concerning the questions.

The reason why I chose this one is that we aren't really aware much of the potential dangers all around us. I hope this article will help you get yourself more alert about the disasters that might happen sooner or later.

The article says that what's really important to cope with disasters is to learn beforehand about the actions we can take, but the learning doesn't necessarily mean hard training or long-term academic courses. It can be just some lines of warning in a plane about the case, or Watch out! sign on the road. So being aware of the alarming situation in advance is important and another thing the reporter points out is 'PRACTICE' because in real emergency, people literally don't think. They get overwhelmed by the situation so what can take us out of the calamity is the habit that will guide us out of there.
