Last Sunday, I had a bad day. I went to the park with my friends. Suddenly, it started to rain heavily. We didn't have umbrellas, so we ran to a small pavilion to take shelter. We waited for a long time, but the rain didn't stop. Finally, we had to call our parents to pick us up. I was very upset because we couldn't play anymore.
Sample 2
Yesterday afternoon, there was a big thunderstorm. I was doing my homework at home. The lights went out suddenly, and it was very dark. I was a little afraid. My mom lit a candle, and we sat together until the storm passed. The storm also broke a tree in our yard. It was a scary experience, but it was also kind of exciting.
