单元主题写作本单元的话题为“自然灾害”， 要求写作关于自然灾害的短文。同学们可以讲述自己经历过的自然灾害，如地震，洪水，干旱或沙尘暴等，也可以自己虚构一个关于自然灾害的故事。 单元主题写作在写这篇短文时，可以从以下三个方面构思：
首先，介绍自然灾害的名称、发生时间和发生地点：
其次，说明自然灾害造成的后果和人们所采取的措施；
最后，自然灾害过后，你的感受如何。
写作时主要用第一人称、第三人称，在描述自然灾害发生的时间和危害及过程时，常用一般过去时态。发出倡议时，可用祈使句或一般将来时。 单元主题写作请你根据下面提示，以A landslide(山崩)为题，写一篇70词左右的短文。
(1)上周一早上，在连续下了两天大雨之后发生了山崩(landslide)。
(2)我和妈妈在家，爸爸下午回来。雨很大。他叫我和妈妈赶快带 伞离开。

It was about two o'clock in the early morning. I was sleeping when the earthquake started. At first, I felt a slight shake. Then I heard a loud noise like thunder.
Soon the real noise came, like bombs under the ground. The earth started to shake. People screamed in fear. Some ran out of the building. I tried my best to run out too, but I could not. Outside, people were running in all directions while pieces of glass and bricks were falling down. Then the walls began to come down too!
Finally, the noise and shaking ended. It was dark and silent around me. I could not see anything at all, and I did not know if anyone else was near me. I felt nervous and my heart was beating fast. “I'm trapped,” I said to myself. A moment of fear went through my mind, but I told myself to calm down since I was still alive. I shouted for help, but no one came. I started to pull myself slowly through the dark. Luckily, there was just enough space for me to move.Hours later, as I was trying to find my way out, I suddenly heard some noise above me. I screamed, “Help! Please help! I'm here！” Then I heard shouts from excited people. They quickly moved away the bricks. At last, I saw the bright daylight.
