A DAY IN THE LIFE
Robert Stanway works for an advertising company
I usually get up very early - at about 6 o’clock. I have breakfast with my
wife, and then leave for work at 7:15. I go to work by train, and get to
the office just before nine. When I arrive at the office, I always check
my email. I get a lot of messages from our overseas offices. Then I
usually have a meeting with my team from 11 to 12 o’clock. I have
lunch in the office cafeteria at 12. The food isn’t very good, but it’s
cheap. After lunch I sometimes meet clients, or write reports. I usually
finish work at about 6 o’clock, although I occasionally work overtime. I
get home about an hour later, and have dinner with my family. In the
evening, I help my children with their homework, and watch television
with my wife..

21. EARTHQUAKE
At two minutes noon on 1 September 1923, the great clock in Tokyo
stopped. Tokyo Bay shook as if a huge rug had been pulled from under it.
Towering above the bay, the 4,000 meter Mount Fuji stood above a deep
trench in the sea. It was from this trench that the earthquake came, at a
magnitude of 8.3 on the Richter scale.
The sea drew back for a few moments. Then a huge wave swept over the
city. Boats were carried inland, and buildings and people were dragged out
to sea. The tremors dislodged part of a hillside, which gave way, brushing
trains, stations and bodies into the water below. Large sections of the seabed sank 400 meters; the land rose by 250 meters in some places and
sank in others. Three massive shocks wrecked the cities in Tokyo and
Yokohama and, during the next six hours, there were 171 aftershocks.
The casualties were enormous, but there were also some lucky survivors.
The most remarkable was a woman who was having a bath in her room at
the Tokyo Grand Hotel. As the hotel collapsed, she and her bath gracefully
descended to the street, leaving both her and the bathwater intact.
