Last winter, my family had a terrifying experience. It started one evening while we were enjoying a quiet night at home. My parents were watching TV while my brother was doing his homework. I, on the other hand, was glued to my bedroom window. Thick snow was falling and the world outside was growing whiter and whiter.

My throat feels uncomfortable.”

We’re almost there!” he said.
D: My mum checked the sky as we walked. “The smoke is not
getting closer yet, but let’s keep moving until we see the water!”
A: My brother suddenly pointed ahead. “I see the lake! Look!”
B: I took a deep breath and said, “Sorry, I wanted to take photos...
I won’t do that again in danger.”
C: My dad smiled softly and said, “Mistakes sometimes happen
—what matters is that we’re all together and safe now.”
