Typhoons are common in many parts of the world. Some typhoons are mild, but others leave lasting damage. A typhoon actually starts as a small storm and gradually becomes stronger. When the winds reach 120km/hour, it becomes a typhoon. In the center of every typhoon is something called the “eye”. In contrast to the chaos around it, the eye is a calm spot without any winds. If you think a typhoon is coming, turn on your radio or TV and listen carefully for updates. Follow any instructions you are given, especially if you must leave your house. But most importantly, don’t panic. After all, it’s just a bit of water and wind.

Fencing, a type of sword fighting, began in the 1500s in Italy and was used for dueling. Before long, dueling became illegal, so fencing turned into a sport. At present, there are three types of fencing swords: epe届e, foil, and sabre. Fencers get points in a match by touching their opponent with the tip of their sword. In a sabre match the fencers can also get points by hitting the opponent with the edge of the sword. Though the swords are not sharp, fencing is still a dangerous sport. Of course, fencers wear special clothing, including a wire mask, to keep them safe. If you are interested in the above information, please feel free to visit our website―www.fencingfanatics.com.
