It was a beautiful day. The clear, blue sky and the cool wind made my morning tea enjoyable. Everything was quiet and the book in my hands was lovely. Suddenly, I felt my chair moving.
At that moment, I thought to myself, “It is an earthquake.” I was so scared that I ran to my parents. But when I reached them, the earthquake stopped.
______▲______ My family and I were not in danger and our house was still there. We watched the news about the earthquake. The epicentre（震中）was very close to Muzaffarabad. We felt lucky to be in the city of Kashmir. After I watched the situation in Muzaffarabad, I decided to volunteer（自愿做）to help those people at once.
I arrived in the city of Muzaffarabad with a few other volunteers. We tried to help out the people there. After hours of working, we found a few survivors（幸存者）. We quickly sent for doctors to make sure they were all right. When they met their families, they were so happy to jump up and down. That made me very happy. However, not everyone had a happy ending. We also found bodies of those not making it through the earthquake. And I felt terrible when I saw the tears of the people. They lost their homes and family members.
