    Is lightning dangerous?

    Lightning is beautiful and exciting, but it kills a thousand people in the world

every year. Lightning is electricity. The electricity in lightning is very strong.In 1998, one flash of lightning killed eleven players at a football match.

    What does it feel like?

    Sabrina, aged 12 and her father are lucky to be alive. Last year, they were hit by lightning, but it did not kill them. Sabrina said afterwards, "It felt like a big hammer. My feet and legs hurt for an hour afterwards. My dad said he felt as if his hands were in an electric socket (插座).”

    How far away is it?

    When you see lightning, start counting the seconds: one...two...three....Stop

counting when you hear the thunder. Every three seconds is one kilometer. So if

you count six seconds, the lighting was two kilometers away. That does not mean

it is safe. Lightning can move very fast.

    How to be safe in a storm

    ⒈Stay inside if you can. You will be safe if you do not use the telephone,

electrical equipment or water. Do not stand too close to windows or doors.

    ⒉Lightning often hits metal things, so do not touch metal things outside. But

you are safe in a car if the windows are closed. The electricity goes down through

the car's metal and not through the people!

    ⒊Lighting often hits the tallest thing. Ask yourself "What is the tallest thing there?" If the answer is "A tree", do not stand under that tree. If the answer is "Me", move quickly!

    This is a park. It's ABC Park. It's in Shanghai. It's big. It's beautiful，too. There are many trees in the park. Some are tall and some are short. They are green. You can see some birds in the trees. They can sing and dance. They are happy. Near the trees，you can see nice flowers. They are red，yellow，blue and orange. Some bees are flying on the flowers. They can sing very well. Look，there are seven boys and six girls on the grass.

    Mr Li is with them. They are playing football. They are all very happy.

    In England, people don't usually talk very much. People often read books and newspapers when they are on a bus or on a train and sometimes they like looking out of the window. But they don't talk much. When you meet English people, they often talk about the weather. So when you meet your friends in England, you can say, "It's a nice day today!" "But it was a little colder yesterday," your friend may answer. "But it will get a bit warmer later!" you can say. Talk about the weather like this, and your English friend will think, "How friendly you are! How polite you are!"
