When I was ten years old, I met a typhoon (台风) on a rainy evening. It was still early but the sky was very dark. I was walking in the street with my mother. We were going home.
The wind became stronger and stronger. I held my mother closely. We started to run fast in order to (为了) get home as soon as possible. But the wind was faster than our feet. Suddenly, it blew lots of rubbish (垃圾) away. The typhoon blew up. We couldn’t hold the umbrella. We were all wet soon, because it was raining heavily.
The big trees began to shake, and the leaves fell down. The wind blew on our faces. It was so terrible. I worried the wind would blow me away, too. We started to run quickly again to get home earlier. We tried our best to run, but we couldn’t. I was very excited when we were near our home. Afew minutes later, we arrived home.
“I am still alive,” I said to myself happily and saw the big typhoon from the window. “How strong the typhoon is! I want to be strong, too,” I said. “You are different from the typhoon. You need to do more exercise and eat more healthy food if you want to be strong,” my mother said happily.
