An Unforgettable Event
An unforgettable event in my life was a rainstorm. It happened last summer when I was at home.
That day, I was reading a book in my room. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered and the wind began to blow strongly. Then the rain poured down. I could hear the rain beating against the windows.
As the rainstorm continued, I started to worry. I thought about the people who were outside and hoped they were safe. After a while, I heard that some streets were flooded.
This rainstorm made me realize the power of nature. It was unforgettable because it made me feel the need to respect and be prepared for natural disasters.
