and __________________. Thank you for______. Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I am very happy to talk about the new stamps.
As you can see, the stamps show different scenes from our new city. I think these stamps are very important because they will let others around the country remember what we have done here. I will collect the stamps because when I am old, I can show my grandchildren these stamps and tell them about the quake. It will be my way to honor all the people who lost their lives in the earthquake and the people who have done their best to rebuild the city. Thank you for letting me make this speech.

so that I fell. I grabbed my clothing and hurried downstairs. Suddenly the lights went out, and everyone rushed for the door. Outside I saw things I never want to see again. It was daytime. Listening textThe air was filled with falling rocks. People around me were getting buried under buildings that were crashing down. Other huge buildings were shaking. Every moment there were terrible sounds. I asked a man standing next to me what happened. Before he could answer, hundreds of bricks fell on him and he was killed. All around me were great fires. As I ran people everywhere were crying and calling for help. I thought the end of the world had come! Then I met a man who knew the way to a boat, and we ran in its direction. Men, women and children were trying to dig themselves out of the ruins. Thousands of people, crazy with worry, were running down the street and every minute someone was hit by falling bricks. In some places, the streets had cracks and opened. Huge holes were all around me. I saw many frightened cows rush up Market Street and drop into a great crack in the earth. How I reached
the boat I cannot say. Some people even tore the clothes from the backs of others as they tried to get into the boat. Later, the survivors searched for water they could drink. People slept on the streets and hills away from the fires, which made the night bright as day. Soldiers kept water from the crowds to give to the rescue workers. The next day the soldiers found more water and some bread to give to those still alive. Is the man clam as he talks about
the earthquake? Why or why not?Discussion:ReadingWhat did the author witness?see … with one’s own eyesReadingLanguage tips:
