Sample writing
A landslide
Last Monday, after two days’ heavy rain, a landslide happened. I was at home with my mother. Father couldn’t come back until the afternoon. It was raining heavily. He asked us to leave quickly with umbrellas. Just then, the house started to shake. We were very afraid and ran away quickly.
The following morning, we went back home. We found that there was no house at all. There were only pieces of glass and bricks everywhere. We felt very sad.
