I was very scared and the only thing I could do did was to running to the center of our courtyard and hugging with my family members.It was really horrible.

But We immediately knew that the Sichuan province and a part of our province were tortured sustained a lot of damage from the earthquake. it quite seriously.Then government responded rapidly quickly and almost all many people tried their best to rescue more as many victims as they could and save more lives. which saved many lives.
After a few days, the international humanitarian aid arrived. and Rescue teams from other countries took part in activities searching the search for more survivors.  I really want would like to show give our respect and gratitude to our the kind and enthusiastic foreign friends who came to our aid.Thank you for helping our country. and us when misfortune came

That's all.Time for me to sleep.Have a good dream or a nice one.O(∩_∩)O~

-Very eloquent.  The last line is absolutely beautiful, I hope you don't mind the changes.  I hope you share this essay with your peers.  I lived in Japan for a year as a child and the first time I experienced an earthquake it was startling.  I grew up on the coast of Texas.  We had to worry about flooding, hurricanes, lightning strikes, and hail damage.  The earth shaking was a new experience for me. I am so sorry for all the casualities your country experienced as a result of this major earthquake and I am grateful that you posted your essay.
