China said that there was a heavy loss of life in the earthquake which struck Tangshan city yesterday. Survivors said that Tangshan, an industrial city of one million people 160 kilometers east of Peking, was completely destroyed.
Observers living in Beijing said it appeared that only a small part of the one million inhabitants escaped death or injury.
Many of the men of Tangshan were working in the mines deep under the earth's surface when the earthquake occurred. Unfortunately, few of these miners have survived.
A lot of people were also working in the city's offices. Regrettably, most were killed under falling concrete when the building collapsed.
The Chinese authorities have not yet given any information about the actual number of casualties, but it is thought that tens of thousands of people have been killed. Hardly a building has been left standing.

Today,when English is one of the major languages in the world, it requires an effort of the imagination to realize that this is relatively recent thing-that in Shakespeare's time,for example,only a few million people spoke,and the language was not thought to be very important by the other nations of Europe,and was unknown to the rest of the world.
English has become a world language because of its establishment as a mother tongue outside England,in all the continents of the world. This exporting of English began in the seventeenth century,with the first settlements in the United States,assisted by massive immigration in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,that has given the English language its present standing in the world.

Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes (1) destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon (2) when many people of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the (3) earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and (4) quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented for going to help as many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use fire fighting equipment (5) because most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by the (6) fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings.
