¡@ | Jack, Frank: | Good morning, Professor Yorjing. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Professor: | Good morning, my dear students. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Frank: | Last night I was not only fearful but also not having enough sleep. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Professor: |
No wonder that you have a drowsy look and are in the blues. |
¡@ |
¡@ | Jack: | What occurred? | ¡@ |
¡@ | Professor: | The moderate typhoon was landing at 11:59 PM. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Jack: | Really? Why I do not know a bit of it? | ¡@ |
¡@ | Frank: | I guess that you must be in a deep sleep last night. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Professor: |
Did you see the TV news in the early morning? |
¡@ |
¡@ | Jack: |
Not yet! |
¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
According to news report, it brought about four people to be killed unfortunately, and thirty injured. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Jack: | How shocking and unbelievable the tragedy is! | ¡@ |
¡@ |
Frank: ¡@ |
Judging from this, it was indeed a night that made people alarmed and panic. | ¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
However we are safe and sound. It may be said ¡§Good fortune in the midst of bad.¡¨ | ¡@ |
¡@ | Jack: | I agree with comment, professor. | ¡@ |
¡@ |
Frank: ¡@ |
Well, Professor, can you tell me how should we deal with tragedy when it occurs? For I worry that I will be frightened out of my wits when disasters take place immediately. | ¡@ |
¡@ |
Jack: ¡@ |
And can you tell me how to try my best to help victims with extra effort? Because I want to send supply to a disaster area and rescue the refugees. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Professor: | Ok. Here are suggestions for you. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Jack: |
We¡¦re glad to listen attentively. |
¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
Very good. First, make the fundamental decision to get involved. Commit yourself to helping the needy. Realize that it¡¦s your responsibility to give the helpless a hand. Take action now because ¡§actions always speak louder than words.¡¨ | ¡@ |
¡@ | Jack: |
I see. |
¡@ |
¡@ | Frank: | It¡¦s true. | ¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
Second, give money right away. Donate as much as you can and do it as soon as possible. | ¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
You know that money is the most useful and most important source of relief. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Frank, Jack: |
We cannot deny it. |
¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
Third, volunteer to help in any way possible. Either join an aid organization or from your own disaster support group. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Frank: |
Hmm....Such as holding fundraisers and collecting donated items. |
¡@ |
¡@ | Professor: |
Yes, Frank. |
¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
Fourth, remember to continue giving assistance long after the disaster has struck. Don't quit after a few weeks. Disasters assistance is long- term endeavor. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Jack: |
So that is what it is. |
¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
Finally, we should pray for every victim. We must ask God to bless both the deceased and the survivors. | ¡@ |
¡@ |
Frank: ¡@ |
Frankly speaking, I only want to do the last one. Others are so difficult to me. | ¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
Actually, no matter what you do, just put your heart and soul into the disaster. Then you are their savior. | ¡@ |
¡@ |
Jack: ¡@ |
So let¡¦s also hope and pray we¡¦ll be better prepared for the next disaster and that our ¡§global village¡¨ will work together as one! Remember the famous song, ¡§We Are The World!¡¨ | ¡@ |
¡@ | ¡@ | ¡@ | ¡@ |
¡@ |
(Unexpectedly, the bell is sounding) |
¡@ | |
¡@ | Frank: |
We are grateful for you, professor. |
¡@ |
¡@ | Frank: |
Thanks a lot. |
¡@ |
¡@ | Professor: |
Never mind. |
¡@ |
¡@ |
Professor: ¡@ |
Ah, I will be late. Good bye my dear students. Then see you next time. | ¡@ |
¡@ | Frank, Jack: |
Good bye, Professor Yorjing. |
