In the article "Japan Earthquake: Huge Relief Mission Launched", the writer described about one of the most terrible earthquake on the world occurred in Japan in 2011. According to the police, there were about 500 people who have died and lots of people have missed in a 9,2 richer at Honshu island - north east of Tokyo. It made lots of people lost their homes and it made at least five nuclear reactors in emergency, but the government said that there was not lead to a serious disaster. One of the most damaged nuclear reactor was the Fukushima. Many countries sent their rescue teams to Japan to help the citizens overcome this disaster. This earthquake damaged many things like houses, factories, railroad, building, dam, fields, and the port of Sendai city. This earthquake give many alert about tsunami to many countries in Asia, Pacific, North and South America.
After reading this article, I condole with Japanese. I think earthquake and tsunami is the most terrible disaster which people have ever known. I remember on the day this disaster occurred in Japan, I was eating dinner with my parents, and I watched the news on TV, I could not believe in my eyes. The tsunami washed away many big, very big ship into the coast. It was so terrible. I wished God save their soul. One year from that date, I know that the Japanese are overcoming the damage of disaster, and I admire their spirit. They are never give up. That's a very good characteristic which I need to learn from Japanese.
Things I learned from the reading: "mammoth", "meltdown", "devastate", "worst-hit", "prefecture".
