【参考范文】
Compared with natural disasters, such as
typhoons, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and
volcano eruptions, humans are weak. When a volcano
erupts, hot lava is sent up hundreds of meters into
the air like a fountain. Wherever the lava flows,
everything is buried under the molten rock. So people are in panic and anxious about their
safety. Meanwhile the firemen make their way to the places on fire. At last, though they
make every effort to put out the fire, many houses are burnt to the ground.
