Putting it Off! Your big exams are just (0) the corner and you have only two or three days left to do some serious revision. You have to commit to memory the history of (13) about Industrial Revolution - so what (14) you doing organising the kitchen cupboards? Ordinarily, it is (15) a task that you would choose to do unless you really had to, but suddenly you feel the time is right to pay particular attention (16) this area of the house and get it looking spotless. The books upstairs can wait. Such behaviour is known (17) procrastination - a deliberate attempt to avoid something which really needs to be (18) , but which you can't be bothered to do. Other examples of (19) sort of behaviour include browsing the Internet or watching television when the kitchen sink is full dirty dishes, or going off to get tea and coffee at the office (20) of finishing the work you've been given. In short, procrastination is the art of putting off (21) tomorrow what should be done today. More often (22) not, the real reason why a procrastinator delays a job is that they have a vague hope that (23) else might just do it (24) them.

         There is a  range of natural disasters that are considered to be extremely dangerous to people. I personally think that earthquake is the number one catastrophe in the world having a huge impact on humanity.    The latest data collected by scientists all over the world confirm my point of view.

         The earthquakes that have taken place in recent years have been both multiple and devastating. They have easily destroyed cities and villages causing enormous economic damage. Hundreds of buildings have been torn down by those disasters burying thousands of people under the fallen roofs and walls. Children, young and old people have been killed in a moment and nothing could have been done about it.

        So, the earthquakes happening almost daily throughout the world are really the most deadly and harmful natural disasters that one could imagine.   Although there are a lot of scientific laboratories that can predict an earthquake and inform people of a catastrophe approaching, there is no guarantee of avoiding it and saving people's lives as many of them ignore such information and stay inside their homes. Thus, it could be said that the number of lives saved during the natural disaster is equal to the number of individuals being aware of its dangerous effects.
