Script

Natural hazards can affect people. A natural hazard or a disaster is a natural event that can cause economic or social impact. Natural disasters include droughts, landslides, earthquakes, hurricanes, droughts, fires started by lightning, volcanic eruptions, extreme weather, coastal erosion and many more. They shaped the history of human societies from changing the size of population to migration. People's activity can contribute to the frequency and intensity of natural disasters. These hazards include droughts, forest fires, erosions, landslides.

Unfortunately, people can't eliminate natural hazards, but they can be engaged in activities helping to reduce the effects of disasters which can result in loss of life, economic costs or property damage. People can reduce its effects by avoiding high-risk locations, improving construction methods or developing warning systems. Besides, scientists must educate people so that this kind of literacy leads to promoting awareness to reduce risks.

    Делаем вместе с сыном бесплатные задания по английскому в Skysmart, это оказалось полезно не только для него, но и для меня. Например, вспомнила, как использовать артикли, — эта тема для меня всегда была сложноватой. Хотелось бы побольше заданий на аудирование, пока у сына этот навык хромает.

    Я занимаюсь в Skysmart с 3‑го класса, и немного удивился, когда нашел раздел с бесплатными заданиями здесь. Они отличаются от тех, которые мы проходим на уроках, но тоже интерактивные. По-моему, на компьютере делать упражнения получается быстрее и интереснее, чем в тетрадке.

    Наткнулась на этот сайт, когда готовилась к ВПР по английскому. Пассивный залог — моя больная тема, но бесплатные задания помогли вспомнить правила, а потом еще статью почитала, и работу написала в итоге хорошо.
