The powerful earthquake of magnitude 6.4 struck early Saturday in Taiwan.
In Tainan, 17-story apartment building has fallen because of it. More than 300 people have been rescued from there though it has considered that many people are still in .
At least 36 people have died. If they must be found within 72 hours after being trapped, a victim will increase.

Discussion
1.What should you do the second an earthquake hits?
I think that it is important to leave the area where there is old buildings and near the sea. It is because old buildings might fall and Tunami might come.
2.How do you feel when you see and hear news reports of earthquakes?
I hope that a number of victims doesn't increase and Tunamu doesn't come. I pray for the victims.
3.Do you think an earthquake is the world’s scariest natural disaster?
Yes, I do. However, recently a typhoon is getting strong and often occuer because of global warming. In Japan, there is a tradition that expresses the scariest natural disaster. People fear earthquakes, thunder, fires, and fathers.
