Interest:
We hear the news about China earthquake everyday. The Earthquake is sad news but we think that we can learn from many things to prevent tragic situation like this news. Particuraly, it is possible for Japan to happen big earthquake, so we should take this news seriously. We want you to know the fear of earthquake and learn something through this tragic news.

Hi Yumika and Natsumi,
You chose a timely and important story. Your post has a few grammar mistakes. For example, your first question should follow the pattern, "If you were....., how would you...... " Despite the mistakes, your meaning is clear.
Mr. Pals
Mr.Pals, we corrected a mistake.
(DISCUSSION COMMENT#1 -This comment is from Natsumio from Mr.Pals class.
Hi Yumika and Natsumii.
Thank you for interesting video about earthquake in China.
I think this story is terrible. The parents of victims must be feel frustrated I think. However, the most surprising is that private school did not collapse.
It is wrong that private school which are paid much money from students were built strongly on the other hand, public school were built weakly.
The answer of the first question:
If I were them, I feel great indignation at the situation. The reason is that I think school is a place which keeps children’s lives. Therefore, school must be built strongly, whether it is private school or not.
The answer of the second question:
China government must check the strength of not only school but also other buildings everyplace in China as quickly as possible.
It is my question:
If a big earthquake strikes you, what is the most worry about for you?
Thank you.

Hi Yumika and Natumi.
Thank you for the interesting video "Outrage Over Collapsed Schools".
I think China government did not consider well about their nation. It was unbelievable that many young people was died cause of poor built of public school. Before this accident I imaged that China become wealthy, but now I notice there are many problems such as economy gap. I can not figure out why Chinese government image that kind of thing happened.
The answer of the first question;
I will feel angry if I was them. I will not be able to understand why my child was injured or killed because this accident is public school and government’s blame. The cause of the accident was not only earthquake but also Chinese government, so I will not believe China any more.
The answer of the second question;
Government should rebuild the building they built and stop building now they planning to build. They should know what the cause was and apologize to the victims, so they can memorize this terrible accident always.
It is my question;
Do you have any preparations for earthquakes?
Thank you.
