I was sleeping in my room when my bed started shaking and a loud noise was heard. I woke up and my mom was screaming my name. Next moment I was running along with my younger sister, mom and dad. Before I ran out of the door, I realized my elder sister hadn’t come out yet. So I screamed her name at the top of my voice. My mom said she had gone to her class. Then the four of us, along with many others, were running on the staircase. We lived on the seventh floor, so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor. My dad’s head was injured by something falling down. I did try to put my hand over his head. When we reached the sixth floor, the building split into two. We had no way to get down.

The next thing I remember is silence. There were around 30 people on the staircase and none could react. Five minutes later, someone opened the door of the sixth-floor flat. We all went in. we were wondering how we would get down. From the balcony of the sixth-floor flat, I saw people standing on the ground floor. All eyes were stuck on us. I could see my elder sister crying.

Our first hope of surviving came when a worker climbed a rope to where we were. That was ,the first time we thought maybe we could get down. Half an hour passed and we were still trapped. Finally RSS people arrived with ropes. They got people down one by one. My biggest worry was how my dad would get down. Finally after two and a half hours, we all got down.

That day we saw the power of nature. It has taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure.

In the north of Scotland there is a lake called Loch Ness. It is the biggest1in Britain. It is over thirty kilometers 2and in some places nearly 300 meters deep . It is cold and dark and not many people went there until after 1930. Then a road was made3the lake.
Holiday makers began to use the road, and this was when the4began. Someone said that he had seen a monster(怪兽) in the lake. He said it was twelve meters long. It had a long 5and a small head. Then someone else said he had seen6. Others said the same thing and in 1933 a London doctor took a7. It8like a monster with a long neck and a thick body but the photo was not too 9. The newspapers printed the picture and10it the Loch Ness monster, or "Nessie".
Then the argument(争论) began.11 people, however, were certain there was something living in the lake. Others said there was12there.
In 1961, a lot of people joined together to make a real13to see and photograph the monster to find14there was one! Several times people thought they saw something but after ten years there was15no real proof (证据).
Later underwater television cameras were used, but 16found any real proof. However, they 17find something interesting: a huge underwater cave. It was big enough to be18of a monster, but of course, this was not a proof.
In 1975, however, some American scientists19 a search group. They used an underwater camera. It took pictures every seventy seconds. Some of the pictures seemed to show a red-brown creature. Its body was about four meters long 20had a very ugly head on the end of a four -meter neck. Many people then began to believe in the monster. But even today we can't be certain.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
