Answer 1

The Taiwan earthquake
I was doing some shopping when it started.At first, I felt a slight shanking through my body.Then I heard a loud noise like thunder.People in the shopping centre looked at each other in fear.Some people screamed because they were very frightened.
Then the real noise came,like bombs under the ground.The earth started to go.Some people ran in all directions.They did not know where to go.Some people ran out of the shopping centre.I tried my best to run out to the street too.People were running wildly while pieces of glass and bricks were falling down.Then the walls began to come down,too!
Finally,the noise and shanking ended.I calmed down and asked myself.'Did I really surive?'I could not believe it was over.It was dark around me.I could not see anything at all and I did not know if anyone was around me.I did not even know where I was.
'I'm trapped.'I said to myseif.A moment of fear went through my mind but I told myself to calm down since I was still alive.
I shouted for help.I thought somebody could hear me but no one came for a very long time.I told myself that I must stay alive.I had a packet of chocolate but I knew I must not eat it all.I knew that I might be there for a long time.
I was trying to find my way out when I suddenly heard some noise above me.I screamed,'Help!Please help!I'm here!'The noise stopped and I was afraid.Then I heard shouts from excited people.They were in a great hurry to move away the bricks and stones.At last, I saw the bright daylight.I was safe.
