At midnight, thunder (雷) was crashing and the rain was pouring. Suddenly my father rushed into my room."Adam! Adam! Get up! We're flooding!"He shouted and 16 me by the shoulders. That woke me up! I ran downstairs to the basement (地下室). It was like a swimming pool. My mother and I immediately started to 17 things and took them upstairs. I had no shoes on, so my feet felt quite cold.
Things got 18 every minute. Within the next hour, we had moved everything that we could to the first floor. The computer, TV and heavy boxes filled with our most valuable things were taken to safety. 19 , our piano, sofa, washing machine and water heater were all still down there —being destroyed(损坏). There was nothing we could do.
Knowing that your home is being destroyed is bad enough, but realizing that you can't do anything to 20 it feels even worse. Water had come in our front door. Rescue(营救) boats were floating in our streets. Mother told 21 to pack an overnight bag of clothes and valuables and get ready to leave.

In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran around but we could find no place to hide in.
Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite(野营地). It was even worse that our small compass(指南针) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit(精神).
