oreign languages play an important role in our lives. speaking or knowing a
man language helps us a lot in all spheres of life. each foreign language has its
own peculiarities. at present the most globally used language is english english
is spoken almost all over the world.
studying foreign languages is a really good idea for three main reasons:
i believe that you should try to communicate when you travel abroad. if you
study a foreign language like french, you can speak to people when you go on
holiday to france. in my opinion studying a foreign language gives you a better
understanding of people's lifestyles in other parts of the world as well.
i think that speaking a foreign language can help you in your own
country, too. for example, it can make watching films or listening to music a
better experience. i can speak a little spanish. this means i can follow
conversations when i watch spanish films. i can also understand some of the
lyrics when i listen to french, english and german music. by john walker

Natural disasters such as flood, fire, tornado, earthquake, tsunamis are becoming more and more frequent on our planet. In short description a natural disaster is a result of a natural hazard, which has a negative effect on human beings. These geologic processes can lead to serious consequences such as loss of life, property damage, economic problems. Certain areas are more exposed to natural disasters. For example, most of New Zealand’s coastline is exposed to tsunami hazard, while the Far East region is exposed to floods. Being aware of possible dangers, people should be prepared to protect themselves, their families and communities. Two important preparation steps are the developing of emergency plan and assembling a supply kit. However, all the known disasters have unique nature and should be approached separately. Some of the common natural hazards are as follows: earthquake, flood, drought, heat wave, hurricane, volcanic eruption, hailstorm, tornado, tsunami, landslide, wildfire, blizzard. I’d like to tell you a bit more about floods, hurricane and earthquakes. A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land. In severe cases it can result in human and animal deaths. Very often the crops are destroyed, which brings famine. A hurricane is a severe tropical cyclone or storm that often occurs in certain parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This destructive hazard can lead to changes in weather and economy. It can also result in heavy rains, thunderstorm, flood or even tornado. An earthquake is the result of a sudden collision among the tectonic plates of the Earth. Such collision leads to massive and occasionally deathly vibrations. However, learning about these specific threats and the measures, which should be taken, can save many lives.
