Do you think that we will be better able to protect ourselves from natural disasters in the future? Why or why not?Possible answer: Option 1Yes, I believe we will be better able to protect ourselves from natural disasters in the future. The development of science and technology will improve the ability to predict the arrival of natural disasters and help us be better organized and prepared for disasters.Option 2No. No matter how advanced science and technology may be in the future, natural disasters will always challenge us because most of them are unpredictable. Human technical skill will never match the power of nature so our ability to protect ourselves will always be limited and this means that we will always be victims of natural disasters in some way.Language Points:1. . a talented writer who left his mark on the English language.
