December 26, 2004, was a wonderful day in India. Most people were happy, and were celebrating their festival. Then it happened. Suddenly, there was a sound, like the sound of thunder. Next, people’s houses began to shake. Buildings cracked and fell. In the town of India, the main street went up twenty feet, holes opened in the earth, and buildings fell in. The earthquake that hit India measured 8.7 in the Richter Scale. In the India Ocean the earthquake made a tidal wave. This wave travelled at six hundred miles an hour. Shortly after, at about 2 p.m. it hit the coast (the land next to the sea) of India. It took away with it a piece of land four thousand feet long and six hundred feet wide. People tried to escape , but it destroyed many towns. The earthquake of 2004 killed about 150,000 people. It was one of the strongest earthquakes in the world. Scientists do not know when the next earthquake will happen. They are difficult to predict, but you will know when it hits.

Five Canadian climbers were saved yesterday, after they spent five days high up on K2. K2 is the second
tallest mountain in the world.
Mount Zhu Mu Lang Ma is the first tallest mountain in Xi Ma La Ya mountains. K2 is in the Xi Ma La Ya
Mountains, too. Mount Zhu Mu Lang Ma is taller, but many climbers feel that K2 is the most dangerous
mountain to climb. The top of K2 mountain is very steep (陡峭的), and the weather change very quickly.
The Canadian climbers were trapped on the mountain last Tuesday. That morning, the weather was sunny,
but in the afternoon it suddenly started to snow. The snow went on falling for the next three days. The
climbers could only sit in their camps, and hoped that someone could come to save them.
"It was so cold that evening." said Den, the leader of the team."We had to stay close together to keep
warm. It was teamwork that kept us alive."
However, Den and his team want to start climbing K2 again soon."We hope to climb K2 again next
summer. We'll keep on trying until we make it."

Hearst Castle is in California, America. A person called William Randolph Hearst built it between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million. Last year, I had a trip to that castle.
I spent the whole day looking around. But there was much to see, and a day wasn’t enough. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is the biggest one. Visitors can live in the other three ones. Many of them are Hollywood film stars, and they often come to the parties there.
At Hearst Castle, there are also beautiful gardens and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”. It was a pity that we couldn’t go swimming there!
The guide told us that Mr. Hearst travelled around Europe with his mother at the age of ten and looked at paintings and castles. He never forgot that tour and wanted his house to look like a castle. When Mr Hearst died in 1951, his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. Now it’s a museum.
