When the rainstorm came at 8:00 last night, I was doing my homework. I could hear strong winds outside, and the rain beat heavily against the windows. I was a little scared. My mother was watching her favorite TV show. She was so worried that she didn’t have fun. My father and brother were playing a card game. Although it was raining hard outside, they had fun. We went to sleep at about 10:00 pm, but I didn’t fall asleep until midnight because of the serious rainstorm.
