A True Story of Tilly Smith
Tilly Smith was a 10-year-old schoolgirl from England. One day, she was walking along the beach with her family in Thailand. While she was playing in the sand, she noticed something strange. The water near the shore began to bubble, and the waves suddenly disappeared, leaving the seabed exposed.
Tilly remembered a lesson she had at school about tsunamis. Her teacher told her that these signs mean a big tsunami is coming. She immediately told her parents and shouted to other people on the beach to run to higher ground. At first, some people didn’t believe her, but Tilly kept shouting and explaining the danger. Soon, everyone on the beach followed her advice and ran to safety.
A few minutes later, a huge wall of water rushed onto the beach. The place where they had been standing was completely covered by water.

How to Prepare for a Rainstorm
Rainstorms are common natural disasters. They can bring heavy rain, strong winds, and even floods. To keep yourself and your family safe during a rainstorm, it’s important to prepare in advance.
First, you should check the weather forecast regularly. If a rainstorm is coming, you need to stock up on emergency supplies. These supplies include enough food and water for several days, flashlights, batteries, a first-aid kit, and warm clothes. You should also make sure your mobile phone is fully charged so that you can call for help if needed.
Second, you need to secure your house. Close and fasten all doors and windows tightly to prevent rainwater from getting inside. Move all valuable things off the floor in case of flooding. If you have outdoor items like flower pots or bikes, bring them inside or tie them tightly to avoid being blown away by strong winds.
Third, you should plan a safe place to stay during the rainstorm. It’s best to stay indoors and avoid going out. If you are outside when the rainstorm starts, find a safe building to take shelter in. Do not stand under trees or near power lines, as they may be hit by lightning.
After the rainstorm, do not go outside immediately. Check if there are any fallen trees, broken power lines, or flooded areas before you go out. If your house is damaged, contact the relevant departments for help.
By following these tips, you can better protect yourself and your family from the danger of rainstorms.

A Terrible Rainstorm
Last Saturday afternoon, I was doing my homework in my room when a sudden rainstorm came. At first, I heard the wind blowing hard outside. Soon, the heavy rain began to beat against the windows, making a loud noise. I looked out and saw many people running home in a hurry. Some trees were shaking badly, and a few leaves were blown everywhere.
The rain lasted for about an hour. When it stopped, the street was covered with water and fallen leaves. My parents and I went out to clean the street with our neighbors.
Although the rainstorm was terrible, it made me realize the importance of helping each other. We should also learn to protect ourselves when natural disasters come.
