A Terrible Earthquake|一场可怕的地震

一场可怕的地震

提示

　　台湾位于环太平洋地震带，地震频繁，相信大家都有被突如其来的地震吓到的经验。写一篇文长至少 120 个单词（words）的文章，叙述一次经历地震的经验。文分两段，第一段说明地震发生的时间、地点及情况，第二段则描述地震所引起的灾情、带来的惊吓以及自己采取的应变动作。

审题

　　突如其来的天摇地动往往会令人惊慌失措。除了令人惊恐外，规模大的地震更可能会造成灾情和伤亡。所以地震发生时一定要临危不乱，冷静地躲到周遭坚固的支撑物下保护自己，切勿搭乘电梯，且在地震停止后往空旷的地方疏散。

根据提示，可知本篇作文是记叙文。写记叙文，简而言之，就是在说故事。说故事的要领在于生动、有趣。除此之外，还须安排布局，要点如下：

1.架构：不独记叙文，任何文体都要有一条线索贯穿全文。那就是开头（主题句），中间（发展）和结尾（结论）。

2.角度：记叙文常用第一人称或第三人称的观点来叙述。前者以『我』为出发点，读起来比较亲切，后者以『他』为出发点，叙述较为客观。

3.顺序：记叙文最常用的是『按时间顺序』的方式来写。这种方式最容易把事情交待清楚。偶有作者用『倒叙法』来写，但初学者不宜尝试。

范文

One morning last month, I was awakened by a terrible earthquake. My bed was shaking so much that I had to reach out and grab onto its sides. My favorite picture fell off the wall and smashed to pieces just before the shaking finally stopped.

Suddenly, the power went out in my apartment. Since it was about 3:00 AM, everything was pitch black, which scared the dickens out of me. I could hear my mom screaming, "Get out of the house!" I found my sandals in the dark and carefully followed my mom, who had a flashlight, down the stairs. Once we got outside, there were about 100 people on the street, with many of them waving flashlights around. Luckily, no one was injured. The next day, I learned that the earthquake had hit in the ocean, so there wasn't any major damage.

上个月某天凌晨，我被一场可怕的地震震醒。我的床摇晃到我得伸出手抓住床的两侧。我最喜欢的照片就在地震最终停止之前从墙上掉落并砸成了碎片。

突然地，我的公寓停电了。由于当时差不多是凌晨 3 点，四周一片漆黑，这状况把我吓死了。我能听到我妈大喊：『到屋子外面！』我在黑暗中找到我的拖鞋并小心谨慎地跟随着我妈下楼，她手上拿着手电筒。我们一到外面时，外面已经大约有 1 百多人在街上，其中许多人四处挥舞着手电筒。幸运地，没人受伤。隔天，我得知了地震袭击的地点是在海洋里，所以并没有带来任何重大的损害。
