An experience in the lift电梯惊魂
试题呈现:
When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby(电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs. Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled (蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs. Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里的).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have Mrs. Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs. Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.

Paragraph 1: Several minutes passed, but no help came. The elevator was enveloped in a terrifying atmosphere, the dim light and deadly silence adding to our mounting fear. Mrs. Lim, my elderly neighbor, was a picture of despair, her body trembling as she continuously sobbed and gasped for air. Despite the fear that gripped me, I put on a brave face, trying to comfort her with reassuring words and a gentle pat on her shoulder. I then turned my efforts to the lift doors, pounding and shouting for assistance, yet the only response was the echo of my own desperate calls bouncing off the cold metal walls. As time wore on, the tension became unbearable, and I could feel my composure beginning to fray at the edges.
Paragraph 2: Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door. "Please help us! There's an elderly woman in here!" I yelled at the top of my lung, my voice tinged with renewed hope and relief. The firefighters responded with calming words, instructing us to remain composed and assuring us that rescue was imminent. Turning back to Mrs. Lim, I conveyed the good news, comforting her that help had arrived and we would soon be safe. After what seemed like an eternity, the door finally creaked open, and we were ushered into the welcoming arms of our rescuers. Back home, I collapsed onto the couch, reflecting on the day's events and reminding myself to cherish the ordinary, seemingly unremarkable days.

Several minutes passed, but no help came. The air-conditioning had died out, and the lift became really stuffy. We were sweating buckets. We tried to ring the emergency alarm again. Every second that passed was painful. "Help!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, trying to get someone's attention. A wave of despair washed over me. I felt like we would never make it. In one last effort, I tried banging on the doors. The next few minutes felt like hours as we waited in complete silence.
Bang! My hopes were lifted when 1 heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door. Help was finally here! The brave firefighters hit the doors open using their tools. It felt like a hundred pound weight was lifted off me, and Mrs Lim thanked the heavens that someone had come to our rescue. I made a sigh of relief when the doors were finally opened and all this drama was over. The firefighters praised me for helping Mrs Lim. I returned their praise with gratitude and Mrs Lim thanked me and even gave me a hug.
