I shall never forget the day when the
earthquake took place. It was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was 41 to my daughter’s school. Our plan was to
go 42 together. I’d
stopped at a 43 to get some fresh fruit. We like to have
some fruit to eat 44 our swim. I was driving along a high road
on the way. 45 my road was another road which was built
like a 46 . I was hungry so I put the bag of apples 47 me and started to eat one. 48
I saw the cars in front
of me start to 49 from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn’t know what was happening. Perhaps
something had 50 wrong with my car. I drove a little more
slowly and then I 51 the car and at the same moment the road 52 onto the cars in front of me. I found
myself in the __53 . I
couldn’t move. My legs and feet were hurting badly and I couldn’t move them.
All round me was 54 . But above me I could hear shouts
and a lot of noise. Then I memorized what had happened. I had been 55 an earthquake. For about two hours nobody
came. Luckily I could reach the bag of 56 , so at least I had plenty to eat.
Then I heard people 57 towards me. A team of people had come to 58 if anyone was under the 59 road. I called out, “I’m here!” I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to my car. “How are you 60 ?”He asked. “Not too
bad,”I said. They didn’t
get me out until the next morning.
