Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. One of the most serious earthquakes in world history took place in Japan in 1923. The shock and fires caused by it destroyed much of Tokyo and Yokohama and left more than 150,000 deaths. For example, there are few earthquakes in Britain, France and Germany.
There is often a great noise during an earthquake, but it is not always. Earth rocks. Houses fall down. Sometimes many people are killed in an earthquake. People think earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山)，but this is not always true. The centres of some earthquakes are under the sea, The powerful forces inside Earth break the rocks. What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete(混凝土的)，walls is perhaps the best against the earthquakes. A steel frame(框架) will make it even stronger.

Project- based learning (项目化学习) is learning while doing. It gives learners the chance to get a deeper understanding of a topic. During the learning, learners solve problems by using real- world examples and challenges. Project- based learning is becoming widely used in schools. Students work on a project over a period of time— from a week to a term. At the end of the project, they show their knowledge and skills by creating a product for people. Let's take the example of Sandra.
Sandra is an eleven- year- old student in Sunshine Primary School. She wanted to know more about Greek mythology (希腊神话). Well, how did she make it?

From the example of Sandra, we can see that project- based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Not everyone is a great test taker, but everyone is good at something. Through project work, students can not only learn deeply about a topic, but also have fun learning. So if you' re interested in something, why not start with project- based learning?
