主题:人与自然——自然灾害·龙卷风
体裁:记叙文 难易度:☆☆☆
One Saturday Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride. It seemed perfect. We started at 7:00 a. m. in beautiful spring weather. At 10:30 a. m. , when we stopped for a
rest, we both felt wonderful. And then a brisk wind(疾风) came. That was when our perfect day began to change.
By noon, we knew a serious thunderstorm was blowing our way. Dark clouds rolled up out of the southeast. A stinging wind blew in our faces. There was no way to stay out of the thunderstorm. We would have to ride it out.
▲ The temperature dropped suddenly. I looked up and saw the sky turned dark green. Trees and crops bent over under the wind. No animals were in sight.
Then a blue car stopped beside our bikes. The driver shouted, "Get in!" She looked scared, and so did we. We did as she said. That was when the hail(冰雹) started. Ice, the size of golf balls, hit the windows of the car.
She drove fast to the north. Maria and I looked back at the black sky. Maria screamed, "Tornado!" I could see trees, doors, and all kinds of other things that this monster swallowed.
My heart moved up to my throat and was beating so hard. I thought it would jump out of my body. I had never been so scared. We would never run faster than the tornado! The driver turned to us and said calmly, "There's an overpass(立交桥) ahead. We'll stay under it for protection."
When we parked, we jumped out of the car and ran to the wall of the overpass. Before I could count to 20, there came a loud noise. It sounded like a train passing overhead. Suddenly, it was over. We made it.
Maria and we were all laughing with relief(轻松). We were shaken but excited. What a story I would have to tell at school!
