Last year, my father was busy working, my mother looked after my grandma, and my sister started university. So I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Jamaica(牙买加) alone. ▲
I went to Jamaica in December, because between October and mid-December the weather isn’t too hot. However, there are hurricanes(飓风) during the time. Luckily, my aunt and uncle heard the warning on the internet before I arrived, so there was already lots of food and drink in their house.

As the hurricane came, we closed the doors, and then we waited. It was a little boring at first. But when the wind crashed(猛撞) around the house day and night, I began to feel afraid. As we waited, we listened to the news on the internet. There was lots of water on the roads and on farms, and some trees and houses fell down. We stayed at home from Monday morning to Wednesday evening.
Finally the hurricane moved out to the sea and then the sun came out again! I happily travelled with my uncle and aunt, and we enjoyed delicious food.

Rescue work was difficult because roads were damaged. China sent a medical team with drones(无人机) to help. Scientists say Myanmar is a place where earthquakes are likely to happen.
“I told my students two things. First, we should protect ourselves, because it is not a game. Second, we should get ready for everything in time,” a teacher said. All the buildings in the school were broken, but everyone was safe. Both the students and the teachers had learned some life-saving skills.
