I was frightened, but I soon kept my head.
I opened the door and rushed out, not knowing where to go.
“Stay under the table and hold on to the legs of it,” I shouted to my little brother.
Hearing the loud crashes of glass breaking and things falling to the ground, I hid under my bed, trembling.
I ran up and down the aisles through the darkness, panic filling my chest and making it difficult to breathe.
I tried to keep calm.
I felt frightened.
We can describe feelings in a direct or indirect way.
“I’m here.” Excitement took my breath away—there in the dark cave I found my brother.

Caught in a flood
(Part II)
After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad decided they should stay in the house. They thought it would be really dangerous to try to walk through the water to get to higher ground.
“Mary, we’ll have to go upstairs and wait there,” said Mum.
“OK, Mum. If that’s what you think is best,” Mary replied uncertainly.
Sample
So they went upstairs and waited. Downstairs, water started flooding into the living room and kitchen. All three of them were nervous, but at least they had disaster supplies, including food and drinking water.
Finally, the rain stopped, but Mary and her family could not leave while the house was still flooded. They listened to the radio and learnt that rescue workers in boats were coming to rescue people who were trapped in their homes. They waited for a boat to arrive at their house. Their home had been badly damaged, but they were all happy to be alive.

Dear friends，
I am writing to call on everyone to pay attention to the present disasters caused by human activities. As we know, over the past years, floods, landslides, and dust storms have frequented our planet. All these have sounded an alarm to human beings. So it is high time that we should join efforts to save our planet.
Above all, the top priority for us is to plant as many trees as possible, especially in the arid areas. Meanwhile, we should protect wild plants and animals to maintain the ecological balance. And we can save our planet through many other ways, such as saving water and using recyclable paper. Since it’s our duty to protect our planet, don’t hesitate to join us in the action and take thesemeasures.
