Dear Jimmy,    
     Something terrible happened to me several days ago. When I wake up in the morning, I often take
a shower and then have a sandwich and a cup of coffee for breakfast before I go to class. But that
morning was different.     
     It was on June 24. The alarm clock didn't work, so I got up late. It was about time for me to go
to class. I had to do everything quickly. I didn't have enough time to do the things as usual.    
     I went straight to my school, but later I remembered that I forgot to turn off the gas (煤气) in the
kitchen. I asked my teacher for permission to go back to my house by taxi.     
     When I got home. I saw much smoke all around. I ran quickly to turn off the gas. If I came back a
bit late, nothing would be left.    
     I was really frightened. From then on, I woke up early to get everything ready before I went out
of my home. You should also check (检查) everything before you leave your house. Take care!
                                                                                                                                Yours, Bruce
