WRITING

One day, a terrible thing happened. A tsunami destroyed our entire town. It was awful! It happened while I was at school, the 21st of February 2005. I was having a Maths class with my classroom mates when suddenly we felt an enormous tremble on the floor and everything started shaking.


I looked out of the window and I could see a really big wave, about one or two km away that was making a big shadow on top of my town. I suddenly screamed in horror. All my classmates and I were absolutely terrified. In the 30 minutes the whole school was evacuated. Everyone ran far away to the top of the hill to be safe. A few hours later, all the trembling and frightening things stopped.

All my classmates were anxious. After that we couldn’t stop talking about it and some people cried thinking about what might have happened to their town. I felt really, really sad because when we returned to our homes, they were all gone and destroyed in to pieces. I couldn’t imagine how it all that had happened. Then all the police, doctors, ambulances… came to check on how we all were and if anybody was hurt. A few years later we had new special homes so that if it happened again, our town wouldn’t be in such bad conditions. Lots and lots of people helped our town to get back to normal. Since then, nothing has happened, YET!!!
