the earthquake

so, i`m here writing about hte moust coment thing in to the last month
that night i supost to be in to a disco but i didnt have my identit card and i had to stay at home
( i was in viña), i was sleeping in to the sofa "watching" the viña festival, so when the movement start i sitdown waiting to it stop, but it didnt, sudenly my mother appears i she told me to go with her, tho the loby whit my litle sister and a friend of her.
i was never afraid, because i cant belive that i was living an eartquake, so when the light go down and the things start taken out of they places i realise of what was realy hapening.
then i told to my mother to go out and go to the hill because of the tsunami, because we know nothing (the intensity, where was the epicenter?) so i convince her and we ( my parents, mi litle sister, her friend and i ) star walking, we walked a lot, until we feel that we where safer, and then the waiting start with a lot of other people that we didnt meet, as or more scarder than us, we stills reamins in uncertain anybody has a notice, or know any information.
the celphones didnt work, my probably try to comunicate with my cousings a hundred of times before we can get it only there we realise te size of the tragedi.
that was a very long nigth , but also a nigth to lernt and be more prepeared to the future.

  6. I think we all learned a lesson about it: we must always be prepared to face an earthquake. I think we will never forget. Take care!

    You have to work a lot on improving your grammar. For now, get together with a partner and double check your work.
