A:Hi,Linda,how's your life in Taiwan?
Do you like it there?

How do you feel about that?

A:Terrible.I would not want to live in a place like that.
B:Oh,well.You'll get used to it.
With a bit of common Sansan and taking the right measures,
Typhoon is need not be a big problem.
A:So,what should you do when you know a typhoon is coming up?
B:You should always keep some plastic sheets ready to cover furniture.
Important papers are best kept in plastic boxes or bags
that don't let any water through.
Buy some extra food in metal or in glass containers,
and keep a torch,batteriesa first-aid kit,a radio and such things ready.

and make sure there is enough drinking water.
Move furniture away from windows,put loose objects,
such as furniture and plants in pots,baskets or boxes,
from the balcony and the yard into the shed.
You must close the curtains and take shelter
where you can not be hit by glass that's flying around
For example,the hall or a room without windows.
A:Have you ever experienced a big one?
B:Oh,yes.It was a very frightening experience.
A:What happened?
B:When the storm hit we heard all of the windows breaking
and furniture being pushed around.
The roof made a cracking noise,we thought it would be blowing away.
Then the storm seemed to die down.
But it was the eye of the storm.
A few minutes later it came back with full force.
I was afraid the whole house would be swept away.
A:Have you thought of moving to another part of the country?
Where there are fewer natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons?
B:My husband and I have thought about that,
but we really like Taiwan and we prefer to stay here.
