I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. It was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was 26 to my daughter’s school. Our plan was to go 27 together. I’d stopped at a 28 to get some fresh fruit. We like to have some fruit to eat 29 our swim. I was driving along a high road on the way. 30 my road was another road which was built like a 31 . I was hungry so I put the bag of apples 32 me and started to eat one. 33 I saw the cars in front of me start to 34 from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn’t know what was happening. Perhaps something had 35 wrong with my car. I drove a little more slowly and then I 36 the car and at the same moment the road 37 onto the cars in front of me. I found myself in the 38 . I couldn’t move. My legs and feet were hurting badly and I couldn’t move them. All round me was 39 . But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized what had happened. I had been 40 an earthquake. For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of 41 , so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people 42 towards me. A team of people had come to 43 if anyone was under the 44 road. I called out, “I’m here!” I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to my car. “How are you 45 ?” he asked. “Not too bad,” I said. They didn’t get me out until the next morning.
