The strong wind started blowing into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.

When I came back into the house, it was raining harder and harder. I tried very hard to close the window. Then I heard a loud crashing (碰撞的) sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find out what it was—a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the back room.
