The Taiwan earthquake
Paragraph 1:
It was about two o'clock in the early morning. I was sleeping when the earthquake started. At first, I felt a slight shake. Then I heard a loud noise like thunder.
Para 2:
Soon the real noise came, like bombs under the ground. The earth started to shake. People screamed in fear. Some ran out of the building. I tried my best to run out too, but I could not. Outside, people were running in all directions while pieces of glass and bricks were falling down. Then the walls began to come down too!
Para 3:
Finally, the noise and shake ended. It was dark and silent around me. I could not see anything at all, and I did not know if anyone else was near me. I felt nervous and my heart was beating fast. "I'm trapped," I said to myself. A moment of fear went through my mind, but I told myself to calm down since I was still alive.
Para 4:
I shouted for help, but no one came. I started to pull myself slowly through the dark. Luckily, there was just enough space for me to move.
Para 5:
Hours later, as I was trying to find my way out, I suddenly heard some noise above me. I screamed, "Help! Please help! I'm here!" Then I heard shouts from excited people. They quickly moved away the bricks. At last, I saw the bright daylight. I was safe.
