READ
Hi, Emma. Do you cook at home?
Yes, I cook at home most of the time so that I can save money on food. I learned how to cook from my parents who work as chefs. How about you?
You are very lucky. I try to cook sometimes so I can eat home-cooked meals at school. I’m not a good cook, though. How can I learn to cook on my own?
You can read and follow cookbooks so that you can learn how to cook on your own. I’m sure you can do it, Ron.
Thanks, Emma. I will start tomorrow so that I can have more time to practice cooking.
That’s a great idea. Good luck!

READ
According to Red Cross, an international humanitarian organization, knowledge in disaster preparedness can help save lives. In fact, it should be mandatory for everyone to know what to do before, during, and after natural calamities. Red Cross suggests that family members should discuss how to respond to different types of emergencies that are most likely to happen in their vicinity.
In Japan, one of the most common drills is for Earthquake preparedness which is participated by everyone in the country. Students take part in disaster drills on their first day of school to introduce them the importance of disaster preparedness. Japanese and even foreign employees are also taking part in calamity preparation as high-rise buildings are more prone to shaking and collapsing during an earthquake. Authorities in Japan are helping in providing evacuation measures and areas where civilians can go right before and after a calamity.
