[00:50.02]In our driving along the road to fetch my daughter from school.

[00:55.38]A plan had been to go swimming together.

[00:59.64]I had finished work at about 4:00,and then gone to the post office.

[01:06.40]I was driving along a high road on my way to the school.

[01:11.86]Over my road was another road for cars going the other way.

[01:17.64]Suddenly,I saw the car in front of me started to move from side to said.

[01:24.30]I slowed down,then my car started to shake.I didn't know what was happening.

[01:31.85]Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car.

[01:36.10]I drove 1 even slower,then the road above started to fall down.

[02:09.44]The bottom part of my legs in my feet were hurting badly and I couldn't move them.

[02:15.99]All aroud me was quiet but below me I could hear shouts in  a lot of noise.

[02:23.15]Then I remembered what had happened.

[02:27.23]It's was clear to me now that I had been in a earthquake.

[02:32.56]For about 2 hours nobody came.Then I heard people climbing towards me.

[02:39.61]A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken road.

[02:45.85]I called out: "I'm here".I heard the shout.

[02:51.00]Soon a stranger climbing the side the bridge near my car.

[02:56.35]It took more than 12 hours to get me out of my car and bring to a hospital.

[03:50.01]READING THE RESCUE

[03:57.56]Flora 3 heard somebody shouting.She looked around and saw Jeff running.

[04:05.60]Before she could move,She heard a loud noise which grew to a terrible roar 4.

[04:14.96]She looked at Jeff,who was waving his arms. She looked around, behind her.

[04:23.31]There she saw a wall of water that was quickly advancing towards her.

[04:31.18]She was so surprised that she couldn't move She wanted to watch it.

[04:38.02]However,before she could think twice,the water was upon her.

[04:45.39]"Run!"Jeff shouted,seizing her arm.

[04:50.72]The next moment the first wave swept her down,swallowing the garden.

[04:58.48]Jeff dragged her towards the house.Everything went so fast, she couldn't think.

[05:07.62]Before they reached the house, a new great wave came,sweeping 5 down trees,

[05:15.98]and sweeping them down too.

[05:20.24]They both went down under water.Then Jeff pulled her up.

[05:28.10]He was standing 6,holding onto a tree that grew against the wall.

[05:35.07]Flora's head was above the water but she couldn't stand up.

[05:41.52]She struggled and struggled,but could not get on her feet.

[05:47.77]Only his hand was holding her hand.

[05:52.73]She fought for her life, and finally pulled herself up.

[05:59.21]Now,the water,which was cold as ice and flowed faster than a river,

[06:07.67]was above her knees.

[06:11.33]Jeff and Flora looked into each other's face with a look of fright 7.

[06:18.38]"Get to the steps!"Jeff shouted.

[06:23.03]It was only just around the corner:four big steps!

[06:30.11]She looked at him,but she could not move.

[06:35.26]When the water seemed to go down a little,they ran.

[06:41.14]As they got to the steps,they heard another great roar,

[06:47.80]and the wall of the house shook.

[06:52.06]The water flowed around their legs again,but Jeff had opened the hall door.

[06:59.63]Flora quickly began climbing the stairs.

[07:04.88]Boom 8!Another wave struck the house,and a strange cracking 9 noise began.

[07:13.66]The water moved up like a sea.Flora ran up the stairs.

[07:21.03]There she stopped,listening to the strange sounds,while the whole house moved.

[07:29.88]Flora,whose beautiful hair and dress were all cold and wet,started crying.

[07:38.71]"The house is falling down!"shouted Jeff."Where is the chimney 10?

[07:45.97]Which room?The chimney will stand." Jeff looked out of the window.

[07:54.23]Below,the water swept pass the house like a wild river.

[08:00.60]Tree after tree went down,cut down by the water,

[08:07.13]which must have been three metres deep

[08:11.86]The garden that was once so beautiful was completely 11 destroyed,

[08:18.63]swept away by the wild water.

[08:23.17]A terrible noise went through the house.

[08:27.92]A part of the house had gone down and the floor moved up and down under their feet.

[08:35.79]For some moments both were silent 12.

[08:40.33]"This will stand.This here will stand.See! That chimney!

[08:47.28]Like a tower. Yes!All right! All right!"

[08:53.45]INTEGRATING SKILLS

[08:59.92]Reading and writing

[09:03.27]During the first week of May I went on a holiday to Sichuan.

[09:09.15]First,I found some photos of interesting places

[09:14.32]which were not too far away from Chengdu.

[09:19.05]I decided 13 to go and see the big Buddha 14 in Leshan and Mount 15 Emei.

[09:26.10]Next,I called a travel agent whose telephone number I found in a newspaper.

[09:33.18]He told me that I could go on a two-day trip to Leshan and Emei,

[09:40.34]which wasn't too expensive.

[09:44.10]My friends,Xiao Rong and Wei Bin 2,said they would come with me.

[09:50.55]We took a few bottles of water,some apples and oranges,which we put into my bag.

[09:58.80]The next day we got up at five o'clock.

[10:03.48]First,we went to Leshan,

[10:07.32]where we climbed all the way up the mountain to see the Buddha.

[10:12.88]The Buddha is really very big:taller than the highest building in our village.

[10:20.54]Looking up at the large head and down at the large feet makes you feel so small.

[10:28.58]Wei Bin took photos of us standing in front of the Buddha.

[10:34.23]The next morning,we climbed Mount Emei.

[10:39.19]There are many old temples and the forest on the mountain is very beautiful.

[10:46.35]The wild monkeys are the most exciting things on Mount Emei.

[10:52.51]They are not at all afraid of people.In a second they will come to you and touch you.

[11:00.69]The monkeys really liked to touch my hair.

[11:05.23]Xiao Rong took a photo of a monkey that was sitting on my head.

[11:11.01]The monkeys look sweet but they can be very naughty.

[11:16.65]A small monkey suddenly put its hand in Xiao Rong's pocket.

[11:22.81]Wei Bin took out some peanuts 16 and it was fun to see the monkey eat from his hand.

[11:30.18]Finally,towards evening we were on the way back to Chengdu.

[11:36.24]We were all very tired and slept on the bus,

[11:41.57]but our trip to Sichuan was really unforgettable 17.
