作文范文
Everyone in my family was awaked by the unusual shaking. The first word that came to my mind was earthquake. When I looked outside of the window, I found everyone running here and there, and I could hear the shouting from the neighbors.
Despite the fact that I was in danger, I told myself to calm down and think about the ways to protect myself in an earthquake. I should get outside instead of hiding inside the building. I couldn’t take the lift but walk downstairs. No sooner had I got outside than I asked the police for help. And I should always be aware of the unexpected drop overhead.
Following these ways, I managed to prevent myself from being hurt, and survived the earthquake. I believe that these are useful ways to protect myself in an earthquake.
参考译文
一阵突然的晃动把我们家里每个人都惊醒了，当时我脑中闪现的第一个词就是地震。我往窗外望去，看到人们在四处躲闪，我还听到了隔壁传来的呼喊。
虽然处于危险之中，我告诉自己要镇静下来，想一想在地震中保护自己的措施有哪些。我不应该待在屋内，我得往屋外逃生。我也不能乘电梯，应该走楼梯。出来之后就该立马找警察求助。而且我还要随时注意上方有没有坍塌。
依着这些方法，我总算没让自己受伤，躲过了这场地震。我觉得这些方法就是在地震中保护自己的有效方法。
