Are there any particular news that you were following?
There have been too many earthquakes in Japan in recent years. Scientists often say that the big earthquake will be occurred under the city of Tokyo within 10 years. My work office is in Tokyo, so I’m very afraid of that. We can’t handle the national disaster.

You mixed up present and past tenses in the title.
Scientists often say that the big earthquake will be occurred under the city of Tokyo within 10 years.
"Will occur" is future tense whereas "will be occurred" mixes future and past to result in a confused reader.
My work office is in Tokyo, so I’m very afraid of that.
Feedback
Overall this was very well done. I would work on your past, present, and future tenses. One of the better ways to do this is via short stories or comedy skits.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
I'm still not clear on the difference between "a" and "the", or which verbs should be written in the passive voice.
But even so, I feel like I'm gradually getting faster at translating what I want to say into English. Quality aside.
AreIs there any particular news that you weare following?
If you are still following it now, then it should be in the present tense as above. If you are just talking about a news story that you were following in the past but don't really follow now, then you could say something like "Have there been any particular news stories that you followed in the past?".
There have been too many earthquakes in Japan in recent years.
Scientists often say that thea big earthquake will be occurred under the city of Tokyo within 10 years.
Maybe a more natural way to say this is "Scientists often say that there will be a big earthquake in Tokyo within (the next) 10 years", although the correction above is also perfectly fine.
My work office is in Tokyo, so I’m very afraid of that.
We cawon’t be able to handle thea national disaster like that.
"We won't be able to handle such a disaster" and "we won't be able to handle a disaster on that scale" are equally valid alternatives.
Since you're talking about a future event, I think "can't" should be changed to "won't be able to".

News is actually singular even though it has an "s".
There have been too many earthquakes in Japan in recent years.

I think I understand why you choose to use "the" here since there is one particularly big one that is being referred to. But since it hasn't occurred yet, it is still regarded as an unknown earth quake and using "a" is more natural here.
Though you may put quotes around it to emphasize the particular one being predicted:
Scientists often say that "The Big Earthquake" will occur under the city of Tokyo within 10 years.

Those are very tricky ones, so it is normal to not grasp that small nuances.
