Surviving an Earthquake Last year, a terrible earthquake hit my hometown. I was doing homework when I started feeling my desk shake. At first, it was weak. I shouted to my mom,“An earthquake was coming！” and hid under my desk. The shaking quickly became much stronger. I remembered we must stay away from windows and heavy objects. My heart beat fast with fear, but I stayed still. When it stopped, I decided to run. I told my mom to hurry downstairs before the next shake. Finally, we reached the open ground safely. Later, we learned it was a level 6.4 earthquake. Luckily, no one died and only a few were hurt. It was a dangerous experience that I hope never happens again. 单击此处编辑母版文本样式 第二级 第三级 第四级 第五级 Language Points 1.
