A holiday in Penang is an annual affair for my family. My parents grew up in Penang and are very fond of Penang food. In December every year, we would drive up to the island to spend three days visiting their favorite food haunts (常去的地方).
This year, we started our journey up north on a Friday morning. It took us six hours to reach our destination. We always stayed at one of the hotels in Batu Ferringhi. The beach was just a short walk from the hotel entrance and our rooms had a lovely view of the sea. We spent our first evening playing on the beach. After dinner, we returned to our rooms to play games. My parents had a rule for our holidays which was that we were to spend time doing things together. There was to be no TV and no Internet.

The next morning, we went to Bukit Bendera and then spent the rest of the afternoon in town visiting our favorite hawker stalls (小贩摊位). As we were having tea at a coffee shop, we overheard people talking about an earthquake near Sumatera, an island in Indonesia. We headed back to the hotel and then went to the beach. We took a walk along the beach, picking up seashells along the way. Looking up, I saw the sun shining brighter than I ever knew before. I saw a tree trembling in the distance as it reflected the sun’s rays. It never occurred to us that something awful would take place. Suddenly, I noticed a strange thing. The sea seemed to be leaving from the shore. I called my father to look at the curious occurrence. My father took one look and went pale. We saw a grey line in the distance moving towards the shore. It seemed to grow taller by the second.

【参考范文】
My father shouted at us to run back to the hotel. He grabbed my hand and pulled me with him. As we reached the hotel gate, we heard a roaring sound behind us. Quickly, my father pushed us towards the stairs. Fear gripped us and we reached the first floor when we heard the roar of rushing water and glass breaking. My father yelled at us to keep climbing. We stopped on the fourth floor and looked down at the water below us. It had stopped rising. After some minutes, it began to drop.
We waited a long time before going downstairs. Hardly had the rushing water dropped when we saw the unrecognizable hotel gate. There was dirt and broken furniture everywhere. Some people who were caught in the water were either unconscious or bursting into tears with pain. What we saw weakened our hearts and we decided to help the victims after a narrow escape. Never had I had such a thrilling yet dangerous vacation before. The special trip to Penang was deeply impressive in my mind.
