Responding to the book

I remembered Christchurch when I read this book. Earthquakes are a threat for people but we can’t predict them. Disasters could change people’s lives. I learned if a disaster is happening, we should help each other. I would rate the English level of this book about right because it is a little long but most words I knew.
