1 . Last year, my father was busy working, my mother looked after my grandma and my sister started university, so I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Jamaica alone. There I experienced a hurricane (飓风).
I went to Jamaica in December, because between October and mid-December the weather isn’t too hot. However, there are hurricanes during the time, so you have to watch out for that. Luckily, my aunt and uncle heard the warning on the radio before I arrived, so there was already lots of food and drink in their house. I was glad about that, because one of my favourite things about being in Jamaica is the food!
As soon as we saw the first signs (征兆) of the hurricane, we closed the doors, and then we waited. It was a little boring. So I played games and talked with my cousins to pass the time, and we ate lots of food. But the wind crashed (猛撞) around the house day and night, and I began to feel afraid. My aunt told me there was nothing to worry about and that they’d had worse storms than that, so I felt relaxed. As we waited, we listened to the news on the radio. There was lots of water on the roads and on farms, and some trees and houses fell down. The storm began on Monday morning, and then on Wednesday evening it moved out to sea. So we didn’t stay at home for very long really, and then the sun came out again!
