I never forget the typhoon that happened last year. It’s said that fifteen people died because of the typhoon. It was so terrible.
I still remember what I was doing at that time. I was at home. I was doing my homework when the rainstorm came. The wind was blowing very strongly outside the windows. I was a little afraid. My father was reading the newspaper on the sofa. My mother was doing some dishes in the kitchen. My little brother, Tony, was playing computer games in his room.
