stop since they planned to go hiking tomorrow.

I like Mid-Autumn Festival best. I enjoy a great time with my family and relatives in
Victoria Park. That night, we have a reunion meal at home. After the meal, we admire
the gorgeous full moon and play with lanterns in the park. While playing, we have a
lot of food like star fruits, pomelos, mooncakes and so on. I am very excited about
this festival because we can play freely for the whole night.
I like playing basketball since it is interesting and easy to play. I always play with my
friends and my family in the park or indoor sports centre when I am free. I feel relaxed
and delighted. Playing basketball helps me to stay healthy and fit. Also, I learn how
to cooperate with others and make more friends while playing badminton. Most
importantly, having a hobby can relieve my pressure after I study for long hours
every time.
In my spare time, I like going to the countryside with my family because of the fresh
air and the beautiful scenery there. We can have different kinds of outdoor activities,
for example, cycling in the cycle tracks, playing badminton, flying kites and fishing
in the pier. I feel warm and sweet when I enjoy the family time. Besides, I like to take
photos / selfies with my family to keep the happy moments. It gives me the giggles
every time I think of those amusing bits.

But then we saw the wall of water out at the sea. At first, everyone was curious, but they
soon realized they had to walk away. They walked faster. Then, they started to run. Soon,
everyone started to scream. ‘Get up onto the roofs!’ someone shouted. People either climbed
onto the roofs of the taller houses or ran away from the beach, screaming madly. The water
filled up the beach very rapidly.
The second huge wave came, and this one was larger and fiercer. It was taller than ten
feet. It pushed everything towards the town. It pushed all of the 200 cars and hundreds of
motorbikes parked on the beach forward. Everything was pushed into the hotels and shops
along the beach. The windows and doors were broken. It pushed between the buildings,
washing out everything in the shops on the ground floor.
Finally, the second wave pulled back. Half of the objects fell onto the ground and half
flowed out to the sea with the water. Hundreds of people never made it home. They lost
their lives. I am one of the lucky ones.
