That evening I was doing lessons. It was about nine hours. I felt a bit dizzy(晕的)and heard a strange noise. It sounded as the flowing of water. Suddenly I found the walls were shaking as if someone was pushing them. Think perhaps I was too tired, I stood up and was going to sleep. Just then I heard someone shout “Earthquake! Look up!” The words put fear into everyone's heart. I rushed out the house as quickly as I could. The whole street was already full with people. I felt everthing was shaking, the house the trees, even the ground. The earthquake lasted a few seconds. Then everything was quiet again.
