When the earthquake started, I was giving an English lesson in the classroom. I felt a slight shake and my phone began to give the alarm. Without hesitation, I stopped my lesson and asked all the students to hide under the desks. I also tried to use some books to protect my head. Then, with the help of other teachers, we went down the stairs in order and ran to the playground to get away from the tall buildings. Finally, all the students and teachers were safe. Though it was a small earthquake, we dealt with it calmly and properly. As a result, we are all safe at last.
