Last Friday, I had a really bad day. While I was having breakfast with my younger sister, the sky was growing darker and darker. I heard thunder and saw lightning. When I left the house, the heavy rain suddenly poured down.
I waited 20 minutes for the bus, but the storm caused heavy traffic, so it never came. I decided to walk to school. My umbrella broke in the wind, and soon I was wet and freezing.
While I was crossing the park, I stepped into a deep puddle
（小水坑）and my shoes filled with water! By the time I reached school, I heard the bell ringing. I was late! But when I entered my classroom, something surprising happened. My teacher smiled and said, “Don’t worry! The power went out because of the storm—no classes today!” Sometimes bad days bring surprises.
As a result, I went home. When I got home, my mother was
preparing a cup of hot milk for me. I told her about my bad day,
and she laughed and said, “Tomorrow will be better!”

Thursday, 24 July, 2025 Rainstorm
There was a flood in the morning after two days of heavy rain. Mum woke me up around 6: 30 a. m. I saw the floor was covered with water and Dad was packing up things. We got out of the house as fast as possible.
It was still raining so heavily that we had to take a boat to reach the main road. All of a sudden, a strong wind came and the boat started to shake. Mum lost her handbag and I nearly fell into the water. After we got to the main road, we walked to my uncle’s home and stayed there that night. The next morning，the storm passed. We saw a mess as soon as we entered our home. But looking at each other, we realized although the house was in a mess, at least we were safe.
What luck on our unlucky day！
