STAYING SAFE
When you ask more people about the benefits of apps on their smartphone, they say they
use them to play games, surf the net, keep in touch with people and organise social events. But
Jenny Harlow, a scientist from London, has got an app that does something much more
important: it warns her when she is in danger. The app is called Safety Tips and it gives users
real-time earthquake and tsunami warnings. The Japan Tourist Agency had the idea for the app
after the 2011 earthquake in Japan, when many foreign tourists in the country were confused
about what was happening and what they should do. Jenny was on a business trip to Japan
when the earthquake struck. ‘Although there are a lot of earthquakes in Japan, it was the first
time I experienced one. All the warnings and information on the internet, radio and TV were in

11
 Adapted by Trần Ngọc Diên Khánh – Mobile: 0905.384.199

Japanese, and I couldn’t understand. It was really confusing and I didn’t know what to do.’
She had to rely on Japanese colleagues to help her.
The Safety Tips app sends an alert to users when a major earthquake happens, and also
tells them if a tsunami is likely to arrive at the coast. The app gives lots of tips about what to
do, where to go and how to stay safe, as well as a list of useful Japanese phrases such as ‘Is
this an earthquake?’ and ‘Is it safe here?’ Importantly, all the information is in English, and
there are plans to add other languages. The Japan Tourist Agency plans to advertise the app at
airports and tourist information centres in Japan. In order to get the app, people visit a website
and download it. ‘I’m coming to Japan again next year and I will definitely watch out for alerts
from the app,’ says Jenny.

Task 1. Read then decide whether the following sentences are True (T) or False (F) or

EXERCISE 5 Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each
question.
Some day people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon. The best place for
houses in a moon town will be a cave or a tunnel. Underground houses will not be squashed by
meteorites that constantly fall on the moon from outer space. This will be important on the moon,
since daytime is so hot that food could be cooked in the rocks, and the nights get bitterly cold.
Pioneer moon homes may be made of airtight plastic that can be blown up like a balloon
inside the cave. The reason for this is that the moon has no air around it. The pioneers will have
to take along from the earth the oxygen masks when they are away from home. But the balloon
house itself will be filled with air. Perhaps the house will have beds, tables and chairs, built into
it. These can be inflated, too. So people will sleep, eat and work on air! Moon-house building
will be easy. The moon’s gravity is less than the earth’s. Everything weighs only one-sixth as
much as it does on the earth.
1. In a moon town, what is the best place for houses?
A. a cave B. a space C. a tunnel D. a cave or a tunnel
2. Which of the following is true?
A. Underground houses will be squashed by meteorites.

13
