Read the text about surviving a rainstorm and complete the chart.
Surviving a Rainstorm
Last week, a rainstorm hit my hometown.
I was riding home after school when the dark clouds suddenly gathered. There was a huge noise of thunder ahead and wind began to blow harder and harder. A rainstorm was coming! I remembered learning about this in Mr. Li’s geography class. I stayed away from big trees and rode along a direct passage to the nearest store. The rain started pouring down right after I got inside. After about half an hour, the rain seemed to become lighter, but it was still quite dark outside.
I decided to wait. Finally, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. When I stepped out of the store and saw a few large trees fall on the cars, my face turned pale with fear. Luckily, no one was hurt.

范文赏析
I remembered my teacher’s flood tips: stay away from low places and never cross flooded roads. I called my parents who were out working, too.
Finally, the rain stopped, and the floodwater only reached the first floor. Luckily, my parents came back safely. We were all fine, though some things got wet. We kept staying away from flooded areas until the water went down.
This flood let me know: being prepared helps us stay away from danger. I’ll never forget this lesson.
