Topic:Have you ever been in a natural disaster？

Shon: Hello everybody, this is me Shon from Uzbekistan and this beautiful lady is Geaw from Thailand and this video is for . Today's topic is have you ever been in a natural disaster?

Geaw: A natural disaster? Well I have been in a flood but it's not a disaster, I don't think it is a disaster because I didn't die though, but it was a flood in my home town. It was really, really bad, the water level raised above four metres and it destroyed a lot of properties and we lost over a hundred million, something like that, but yes that was really bad. But I didn't die.

Shon: I think it was serious, yeah.

Geaw: Yeah.

Shon: I'm glad that nothing happened to you. Well I remember when I was fifth grade, I had this earthquake in our home town and our apartment was a twenty floor apartment and ours was nineteenth. Can you imagine that. Well it's not big if you compare with other countries but it's one of the biggest in our country, especially in my city, so it was really scary and it was like about five degrees, four and a half or five degrees.

Geaw: The building didn't collapse?

Shon: No, everybody was saved but one thing I remember I get rid of my beautiful (....) which I got from one of my Chinese friends, that's too bad. But anyways we keep living. Thank you very much.

Geaw: Bye bye.
