When a tropical storm reaches 120 kilometers per hour, it is called a hurricane in North and South America, a cyclone in Australia, and a typhoon in Asia. The word ‘typhoon' comes from Chinese: tai means ‘big’ and feng means ‘wind’, so the word ‘typhoon’ means ‘big wind’.
Volcanoes: We can usually predict when a volcano will erupt. Mount Pinatubo, which is a volcano in the Philippines, erupted in 1991. It was the world’s largest volcanic eruption in more than 50 years. Hundreds of people died, but thousands were saved because scientists had warned them about the eruption.

Bởi vì viết trở nên rất quan trọng trong nền văn hóa của chúng ta, đôi khi chúng ta nghĩ về nó thực hơn lời nói. Tuy nhiên, suy nghĩ một chút sẽ thấy tại sao lời nói lại là chủ yếu và viết là thứ yếu với ngôn ngữ. Con người đã viết (như chúng ta có thể nói từ bằng chứng còn sót lại) ít nhất 5000 năm; nhưng học đã nói chuyện lâu hơn thế, chắc chắn kể từ khi có con người.

Khi viết đã phát triển, nó được bắt nguồn từ và thể hiện lời nói, mặc dù không hoàn hảo. Thậm chí ngày nay, có ngôn ngữ nói được mà không có hình thức viết. Hơn nữa, tất cả chúng ta học cách nói tốt trước khi chúng ta học viết; bất kỳ đứa trẻ nào mà không bị khuyết tật nghiêm trọng về thể chất hay tinh thần sẽ học nói: một người bình thường không thể bị ngăn cản làm việc đó. Mặt khác, nó cần một nỗ lực đặc biệt để học viết. Trong quá khứ nhiều thành viên thông minh và hữu ích của xã hội đã không có được kỹ năng đó, và ngay cả ngày nay nhiều người nói ngôn ngữ với hệ thống viết cũng không bao giờ học đọc hoặc viết, trong khi một số người tìm hiểu những nguyên lý cơ bản của những kỹ năng này làm như vậy chỉ không hoàn hảo.

Tuy nhiên, để kh ng định tính ưu việt của lời nói vượt trên viết không phải là chê bai cái sau. Một lợi thế mà viết có trên lời nói là nó lâu dài hơn và làm có thể các ghi ch p mà bất kỳ nền văn minh nào cũng phải có. Do đó, nếu nói làm chúng ta người hơn, viết lại làm cho chúng ta văn minh.
