[06:18.38]"Get to the steps!"Jeff shouted.
[06:23.03]It was only just around the corner:four big steps!
[06:30.11]She looked at him,but she could not move.
[06:35.26]When the water seemed to go down a little,they ran.
[06:41.14]As they got to the steps,they heard another great roar,
[06:47.80]and the wall of the house shook.
[06:52.06]The water flowed around their legs again,but Jeff had opened the hall door.
[06:59.63]Flora quickly began climbing the stairs.
[07:04.88]Boom!Another wave struck the house,and a strange cracking noise began.
[07:13.66]The water moved up like a sea.Flora ran up the stairs.
[07:21.03]There she stopped,listening to the strange sounds,while the whole house moved.
[07:29.88]Flora,whose beautiful hair and dress were all cold and wet,started crying.
[07:38.71]"The house is falling down!"shouted Jeff."Where is the chimney?
[07:45.97]Which room?The chimney will stand." Jeff looked out of the window.
[07:54.23]Below,the water swept pass the house like a wild river.
[08:00.60]Tree after tree went down,cut down by the water,
[08:07.13]which must have been three metres deep
[08:11.86]The garden that was once so beautiful was completely destroyed,
[08:18.63]swept away by the wild water.
[08:23.17]A terrible noise went through the house.
[08:27.92]A part of the house had gone down and the floor moved up and down under their feet.
[08:35.79]For some moments both were silent.
[08:40.33]"This will stand.This here will stand.See! That chimney!
[08:47.28]Like a tower. Yes!All right! All right!"

[09:03.27]During the first week of May I went on a holiday to Sichuan.
[09:09.15]First,I found some photos of interesting places
[09:14.32]which were not too far away from Chengdu.
[09:19.05]I decided to go and see the big Buddha in Leshan and Mount Emei.
[09:26.10]Next,I called a travel agent whose telephone number I found in a newspaper.
[09:33.18]He told me that I could go on a two-day trip to Leshan and Emei,
[09:40.34]which wasn't too expensive.
[09:44.10]My friends,Xiao Rong and Wei Bin,said they would come with me.
[09:50.55]We took a few bottles of water,some apples and oranges,which we put into my bag.
[09:58.80]The next day we got up at five o'clock.
[10:03.48]First,we went to Leshan,
[10:07.32]where we climbed all the way up the mountain to see the Buddha.
[10:12.88]The Buddha is really very big:taller than the highest building in our village.
[10:20.54]Looking up at the large head and down at the large feet makes you feel so small.
[10:28.58]Wei Bin took photos of us standing in front of the Buddha.
[10:34.23]The next morning,we climbed Mount Emei.
[10:39.19]There are many old temples and the forest on the mountain is very beautiful.
[10:46.35]The wild monkeys are the most exciting things on Mount Emei.
[10:52.51]They are not at all afraid of people.In a second they will come to you and touch you.
[11:00.69]The monkeys really liked to touch my hair.
[11:05.23]Xiao Rong took a photo of a monkey that was sitting on my head.
[11:11.01]The monkeys look sweet but they can be very naughty.
[11:16.65]A small monkey suddenly put its hand in Xiao Rong's pocket.
[11:22.81]Wei Bin took out some peanuts and it was fun to see the monkey eat from his hand.
[11:30.18]Finally,towards evening we were on the way back to Chengdu.
[11:36.24]We were all very tired and slept on the bus,
[11:41.57]but our trip to Sichuan was really unforgettable.
