What a Terrible Rainstorm
It was a dark afternoon. When the rainstorm came, I was doing my homework in my room. My mother was cooking in the kitchen and my father was watching TV in the living room.
Suddenly, the lights went out. The wind blew strongly and the rain beat heavily against the windows. We could hear the noise of the wind. After a while, we knew from the radio that some trees had fallen down on the streets. What a terrible rainstorm.
