Exam 2
At 2.46pm on March 11, Japan was hit by one of the most powerful earthquakes in recorded history. The disaster left more than 27,000 people dead or missing, including foreign citizens. We are now making massive efforts to restore people’s livelihoods and to recover from the series of tragedies that followed the great East Japan earthquake.
We have been strongly supported in this endeavour by the international community and our friends around the world. On behalf of the Japanese people, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for the outpouring of support and solidarity we have received from over 130 countries, nearly 40 international organisations, numerous NGOs, and countless individuals from all parts of the world. The Japanese people deeply appreciate the kizuna (a Japanese word for “bonds of friendship”) that has been shown to us by our friends overseas. Through this hardship, we have also come to truly understand the meaning of the adage “a friend in need is a friend indeed”.
I ask my government to verify the cause of the incident of Fukushima nuclear plant, and share all information with the rest of the world in order to prevent similar accidents occurring again. I would like, through Japan’s struggles, to present a clear vision to the entire world, that may contribute to solving global energy issues.
By Naoto Kan, the prime minister of Japan,6:50 am, 29 Apr 2011, on the Japanese television channels .

Solidarity between people of the same country or different countries is demonstrated in different events.
Most of the time people donate clothes, food and medicines to the Red Crescent or the Red Cross to help poor people. There are also associations that are called charities whose role is to raise funds and use them to build schools and shelters for the needy. There are also charities whose members volunteer to support the sick and medical research. Many people donate not only money gifts but also organs
The whole world expresses its solidarity in the event of a devastating earthquake just like the one that happened in Japan in 2011 or in Nepal in 2013.Nations forget their political conflicts and send their best rescue teams and all kinds of aid.
All in all ,solidarity is a wonderful bond between humans .They all become one when they badly need one another in worst times. Therefore ,solidarity is the best policy to adopt for a better world.
