Passage Analysis:
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 and 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 car away!"
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.

Caught in a flood
(Part II)
After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad decided they should stay in the house. They thought it would be really dangerous to try to walk through the water to get to higher ground.
“Mary, we’ll have to go upstairs and wait there,” said Mum.
“OK, Mum. If that’s what you think is best,” Mary replied uncertainly.
So they went upstairs and waited. Downstairs, water flooding into the living room and kitchen. All three of them were nervous, but at least they had disaster supplies, including food and drinking water.
Sample
Finally, the rain stopped, but Mary and her family could not leave while the house was still flooded. They listened to the radio and learnt that rescue workers in boats were coming to rescue people who were trapped in their homes. They waited for a boat to arrive at their house. Their home had been badly damaged, but they were all happy to be alive.
