Japan earthquake: Can you tsunami-proof a country?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-12711173

Four questions will be discussed during our meeting.
1.In this article , it mentions many methods of preventing human beings from the threat of tsunami.
  Do you think which one would be the most feasible way in Taiwan?

Precautioned methods:
Design buildings to withstand the impact of the tsunami
Develop early-warning systems
Teaching citizen what to do in case this disaster happens --- the best one in taiwan

reason:
sea coast line is too long in taiwan
the special designed buildings are costly. people who lives along sea coast line somehow are not very rich.

Teaching citizen what to do in case this disaster happens
should include the evacuation strategy
- includeing get to the highland
- cut off gas and electricity
- prepare a backpack which contains many kinds of stuff for emergency used.

2.Man's determination will conquer nature. It's an ancient proverb in China.
   How do you think about this proverb?

People should coopoerate with nature , not dedicate to conquering nature.
Human should lives under the rules of  nature.
Disater hapeens because human beings expand too fast.
We lived on some place which should not live.
Scientists predict that the earth will have 9 billion people in 2050.
sustain the balance of the ecosystem

3.Please tell us what you feel after seeing the devastating disaster happened in Japan.

Its frustrating.
Especially I am Taiwanese , because we have the similiar situations as Japanese.
We all lived on islands.
It means that something happens in Japan maybe happens on us in the future.
I dont think our goverment has the ability to handle this disaster.

4.Please share a vocabulary or pharse with us.
