Caught in a flood
Mary and her parents were downstairs in the living room. Mary was looking through the windows at the endless rain outside. It had been raining non-stop for three days. She had never seen a storm this bad. It was making her nervous. The wind roared the rain beat on the roof and windows. Dad was listening to a weather report on the radio, while Mum was putting their important documents and disaster supplies into a bag.
“Mum, Dad,” said Mary suddenly, “I think we should leave here right away!”
“No” said Dad. “It’s too late! The radio says the city has already been flooded.”
“We can drive our car through the floodwater! Let’s just leave! I’m really scared!” cried Mary. “We can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum, “otherwise the moving water could wash the caraway!”
Mary walked to the door. She was curious to see how much water there was outside.
“Don’t open the door!” shouted Mum and Dad at the same time. “The water may flood in!”
Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open. Mum waved to Mary to sit on the sofa. “Mary, don’t worry. Everything’s going to be OK,” she said softly, trying her best to comfort Mary. Her voice was calm, but Mary could tell she was worried too.
Without saying a single word, Dad walked to the sofa, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside. What could they do?

It is the rainy season all over India. In the news we have seen heavy rain hit many parts of the country,which are already flooded(被淹没).We have got used to floods.Children really enjoy the rain and the floods.They love playing with water.Sometimes they jump in the water and are always happy to do it.
However,this year it turned from bad to worse.All schools were closed,and it was announced a holiday by the government the previous day.We stayed indoors and watched life through our windows.Water entered the flats on the ground floor. All the neighbors helped people living there move their belongings and stayed with them.My friends were also staying with me.I was happy,because my parents usually don't allow me to stay in a friend's place.But our neighbors were really sad.They had to bear the loss(损失)that the rain brought.
The traffic was cut off by the terrible weather as well.In the morning,the railway system and bus services almost came to a stop.People had to wait for quite a long time at the railway stations and bus stops.My mother,who went by train,arrived three hours late.And finally when she reached her office,it was also announced a holiday.Later,to make the things worse,many trains were cancelled,because the railways were full of water.My mother had to wait in the station for about three hours.Afterwards she decided to go to a friend's house a block away from her office that day,as there was hardly any transportation available to our home.She called to tell us about it.She told me that she walked all the way to her friend's house because she could not get on a bus,and that she was wet thoroughly when she finally got there.On the phone she sounded very tired.
Paragraph 1:
That night was so different without my mother at home.

Paragraph 2:
The next day the rain did not stop.

I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day-a blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea. But then, as I looked in the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves heading towards the shore. I'd seen these mini- tsunamis(海啸) many times before. They were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. Most people knew how to look out for them, but from the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.
Without thinking, I ran down into the street, holding my body board(俯伏冲浪板) on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard. My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his body board, so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.
Once we got closer, we discovered the waves had pulled a boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea. I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I wasn't used to this sort of emergency- I’d never been trained as a lifeguard-but I didn't think twice about trying to save them. I supposed in a way I wanted to impress everyone: at 19, a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off.
Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them. When we finally reached them, they were almost lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer. I hold the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl on to his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out.
We had to wait,
