Topic #6: Time Travel

​I have been thinking about time travel. Sometimes I might think what if I go back into time and witness the tsunami that had struck Thailand on 26 December, 2004?Believe it or not! The tsunami was the second largest sea earthquakes of the world record in historical time and it was the worst natural disaster ever to Thailand. It caused huge damage to property, the economy and the environment. It also caused so much loss of life. According to the research, there were six provinces affected, 407 villagesdamaged, and 12,000 families and 58,550 people suffered, died, or missing. Financial losses from business were about 15 billion baht, and damages of public facilities were over 1 billion baht. The reason that I want to experience this event is because I would love to go to Phuket, one of the island that stuck by tsunami, to be a volunteer. As a Thai citizen, it’s my duty to help Thais. We are just like families. If I wasn’t studying Chinese in China that time, I would greatly hope that I can be there beside them to support them, cheer them up! I promise I would do my best to help anyone that was in trouble. By the way, I wish this event never happened, and no one suffered. However, I know that it is impossible to alter the past. It was a natural disaster and it couldn’t be stop at the moment. The only thing we can do is to reduce the damage when the next big quake hits. I do suggest that we should protect our environment, as well as make a preparedness plan for our country!
