1) PICTURES

a) On foreground of that picture I can see a lot of water between the houses. In the middle of the picture is a man whois standing in the water. There is a lot of road signs but I believe it is not important here In the background I can see a road so deduction is easy: this town survived a flood.
b) The picture B shows sea on the left, the outskirts of the city on the right and trees between them. This picture showsthe disaster too because the water reaches the buildings on the right but in this case I think it isn�??t a flood but it is a city after tsunami

2) QUESTIONS

a) In my opinion the first disaster is provoked by shallow river bed or by the ice melts if that city was near the mountains. In case of the second disaster there could be a earthquake on sea / ocean like in that in Indonesia. Of course it could be the very high tide but�?� I don�??t think so. Hmm �??Explain the evolution from the 1980s to the 2000s.�?� ok so there have to be one cause to both of this pictures. I feel that will be a changing of climate specially the greenhouse effect and moves of tectonic tunes. From 1980 to 2000 the number of those accidents was bigger and bigger. The greenhouse effect is stronger day after day so the level of the water is higher every year. Well I don�??t know how changes of climate are changing the tectonic moves but I�??m sure there is a small change in it. I think that in the future this situation become worse and worse.
b) Of course. These catastrophes are terrible. There are so many deaths in it and a lot of damage�?�ehh there is no word to describe it.
c) The only solution for that case is to convince the governments and the important people in world industry to take care of the pollution of our planet and to sponsor the systems of prevention to give more time to escape.

Uff I think that is all sorry for that size of my post >:)

1) a) In the first photograph, one can see a city flooded because of an abundant rain. In the second photograph, it's the sea which overflows and comes flooded a city. The common point between the two photographs is the flood.

2) Such disasters cause a destruction of the dwellings, human losses. The tradesmen and the farmers are touched then they have much evil to start again their activity because their buildings are in a crisis and they have financial losses then the stores close. The damage is also material since in certain cases electricity must be cut, water is nondrinkable and there is a lack of hygiene what causes epidemics.

     Between 1980 and 2000, the risk of catastrophes is weaker in the countries with strong income than in the States with weak or average income. The catastrophes multiply and the consequences are disastrous but the more the years pass and the more technology evolves/moves. 
The plans of preventions of the risks were to create.  
The State and the local communities bring financial assistances to complete work to protect the places inhabited against the floods. 
     In the future one can envisage an increase in the natural disasters.
     The floods is a phenomenon which will not cease increasing moreover the effect of greenhouse worsens this phenomenon.
  b) These catastrophes frightens me but especially bus for me impresses me these phenomena are great mysteries of the universe even if I knows the way in which that is to cause. Moreover, the films concerning these phenomena are for me excellent films since they show how to protect itself, the causes and the consequences and I takes pleasure has to look at them and to think that that could occur one day that frightens me. 
  c) I will suggest to decrease the pollution which invaded air and to have more prevention against the natural disasters

1) In the 1st picture, we can see a man who is standing in the midle of the road. The picture was probably taken in the city center because there are many big building, narrow streets and post signs. Part of the road is flooded. we can as notice as water is mounted rather high bus the traffic signs are almost covered by this one.

The second picture presents a sea and the coast line. Probably the whole area was flooded as well. There are also some houses which were flooded. Both pictures are characterized by flat. There is much water in both pictures.These two photographs show us the extent of the natural disasters.

2a) Too much rain maybe the reason of frequent floods. Melting of the ice bergs may also provoke floods. Between the years 1980-2000 the atmosphere become much warmer. Winters are much milder than in the past. In the future the atmosphere will probably become even warmer. There will be more and more floods and earthquakes. We knows many examples of races to the economic growth and the improvement of the social conditions leading to the creation of new risks of catastrophes. The fast urbanization constitutes an example of it. These establishments are often located in ravines, or near steep slopes, along the easily flooded or adjacent plains with industrial plants or harmful or dangerous infrastructures of transport. During two last decades, more than 1,5 million people died because of natural disasters. Nearly 75% of the world population in affected zones at least once lives, between 1980 and 2000, by a phenomenon such as tropical cyclone, earthquake, flood or dryness . In the future, these catastrophes go increased because of a concentration too important of the men in zones known as has high risks .

b) David think the such catastrophes are terrible, because they do much harm both to people and to the environment. They scare me, because many people can die.That frightens me because one does not know what I will occur in the future.

c) David think that it is difficult to find possible solutions against earthquakes and floods, because they are natural disasters and people are helpless but in case of fire people can be more careful. I suggere that it would be necessary to improve the prevention at the time of the catastrophes so that people have time to leave, create of the stoppings for arreter these catastrophes before the village,create plans of help .

THE ANALYSE ABOUT THE TWO PHOTOGRAPHS ! Magda H & Żaneta H.

                             The picture both presents disasters.

On the picture A (I mean the picture with the flood and with trees) we can see the tidal wave. That�??s a kind of wave that appears on the see, when there is an earthquake or an eryption in the see.
It is very dangerous phenomen it comen very fast to the coast, so the people can�??t run away and they just die.
The leatest example of the biggest tidal wave in the history is the one that had hit the Tajland coast two years ago just before Christmas 4000 people died.
Unfortunately the scientists don�??t know how to prevent people and environment against the unexpected tidal waves in the future.

  On the picture B we can see the flood in the city.

The streets are covered by the water, and propably the dirty water is inside the shops, houses and everywhere when it can go into.
This kind of disaster is quite different from this on picture A, unless it is the city in the background of picture A. this flood is easier to present because we know that the flood is coming at last few hours before it comes.
We can evacuate the people , save the valuable things ,but of course not always. Sometimes it is also unexpected and many people can die too. Sock a disasters can be caused by nature or by the people.
The first ones are more difficult to remedy because they are unexpected, the second ones are we will think about the environment protection we will find the solution sooner or later.
Both of the disasters scary me a lot , but me and my friends live in Poland in Silesia and we will never see have the tidal wave but ten years ago near my town there was the biggest flood is Poland In the 20th century.
Many towns were under the water for almost .Many people last everything. It was really horrible .
I hope I will never have to fight with flood in my live , and I wish you the same!

        Greetings .              Magda H & Żaneta H

QUESTIONS:

a) Such disosters can cause diseases, deaths, severely wounded person, pollution, problem of circulation, the degradation of material. In 1980 of dead victim of the flood of 200 had died per annum and in 2000 they were 400, it has to double into 20 years what is enormous. I think that the number of innondation will decrease as welle as the number of deaths, of wound or of material degradation caused by this one thanks to the reheanting of planet.

b) Yes, i am afraid as of these catastrophes because they can be dangerous to see even mortals.

c) What would be necessary to make to avoid these catastrophes far examples:

- To avoid all that cause pollution
- Wich causes the reheating of the planet
- It would be necessary to clean the sewers
- to make dikes
- to trench
- would be necessary that the lakes are deeper


DESCRIPTION:

Photograph one:On this photograph we can see that there was a flood. On the sides there are building. In full medium of the road there is a man alone. At the bottom of the image we can see a truck which block the road. side of the building there are many panels of circulation.

Photograph two: On this photograph we can also see that a flood. In the center of this flood there is an alignment of trees with dwelling which are not flooded, they were surely saved because they are elevated but the dwelling which located behind this alignment were devastated by this flood.

The first photography represents a flood creates by strong pluies.we can observ that there is water on part of the street because it is not right. It there be a person with medium of water I think that it be leave of to it because its house be full of water. This flood with been able to be caused by thaws out it ices in mountain and when the ground water overflows. For me there should be more effective system of prevention to envisage the floods in order to warn the inhabitants so that they can prepare or evacuate. The cities should be equipped with system of pumping to evacuate water most quickly. The second photography represents a beach where took place a violent tidal wave because one can observe in the second plan water overflowing on villages.

Natural disasters like the creates flood and tidal wave the death of many people in the world what involves diseases. They are creates because of the climatic change and the effect of greenhouse. from 1980 to 2000 there was an increase in these catastrophe due to the climatic change and with the effect of serre.Il tidal wave and of flood has more and more there as we can noted the ave the tsunami in Indonesie. I am afraid of these catastrtophes natural because one does not know when they arrive and that creates many human losses.

Commentary english

1) Describe the following pictures and explain the common point between them.

The first picture : �?� The picture is a photography. We can see an important flood in a street. There is a man in this street ans he has the raised arms. He is in the middle of the flood. There is nobody around him. The street is cut by the flood and we can see many roadsign.

The second picture : We can see a big flood in this landscape and boats in the flood. We can notice that the flood did many devastations. We can see that a line of trees was used as stopping a part of the flood. The villages behind the line of trees are devastated ans flooded.

�?� The common point between these two photographs is that they are two flooded place and that is natural disaster.

2) Answer the questions below to give a full analysis of the pictures.

''a) What can provoke such disasters ? Explain the evolution from the 1980s to the 2000s. What will happen in the future ?''

�?� The first picture : The floods can cause the death of much of people. That can cause the destruction of many building and the destruction of several tree, harvest and the agricultural cultures, but also destruction of breeding. The floods can also cut the traffic and to slow down the intervention of the helps. That can cu the railway lines and to cut electricity. The overflow of the rivers rains abundant and no dams to keep them. ++ �?� The second picture :++ The consequences of a submarine earthquake.

b) Do these catastrophes scare you ?

Yes these catastrophe scare me because we can die because of these natural disasters. Especially, ti die of drowning is really terrifying. The disaters scare me because we can lose everything that we have.

c) Can you suggest possible solutions / alternatives to remedy these problems ?

Picture 1 : we could already arrange some darms aroud the rivers to stop wateer from erossing the cities and villages and so to avoid the disasters..

Picture 2 : We could manufacture some machines capable to warn the tidal wave and soto be able to evacuate the cities then before the disaster to make the prevention. It is necessary to recycle, to make our possible to avoid the climatic changes.
