文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述一个名叫爱丽丝的女孩家乡遭遇地震,她和其他幸存的人帮助灾后重建。这次经历也改变了她——她决定力所能及的去帮助她人并永远记得团结的力量。
It was a normal day in Altitude, a town high in the mountains. People were going about their daily routines, not knowing the disaster that was soon to come. Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to shake. Then people were thrown off their feet and objects flew off shelves. The sound of breaking glass and falling buildings filled the air.
Alice, a young girl who was in her house when the earthquake struck, knew she had to act fast. She got her emergency kit, which included food, water, and a first-aid kit, and ran out of the house.
The streets were messy. Traffic lights were out, cars were overturned, and people were running in fear. Alice knew she had to get to higher ground. She headed for the nearest hill, joining a group of other people. As they reached the top, the full force of the earthquake hit, but Alice and the others managed to stay on top of the hill.
After what seemed like a century, the earthquake finally stopped. Alice looked down at the town she had called home. It was in ruins. Houses were destroyed, roads were cracked open, and a large crack had formed in the middle of the town square.
Alice knew she had to help. She joined hands with other survivors and they began the rescue effort. With simple tools and their bare hands, they dug through the stones and bricks to find anyone who might be trapped inside. In the following days, Alice and the other survivors worked tirelessly to help, providing food, water, and medical aid to those in need. With the help of rescue teams and volunteers from around the country, they slowly but surely began to rebuild their town.
Alice’s experience changed her forever. She realized that life was uncertain, but also that people could come together in times of difficulty. She determined to help others whenever she could and above all never to forget the power of community.
