10. Today, long after the earthquake shook/hit my home town, I can still recall in crystal detail,
what I saw as I ran out of my home with my parents. The building just across the street toppled right before my eyes, debris flew every-where and a could of choking dust blotted out
the sun. Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming.
Now many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one. In the town square, a memorial has been built to remember those killed in the disaster. It seems the wounds in people’s hearts have healed, but the memory will linger.

12. Last Wednesday, my classmate Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang, a well-known town looped
all around by streams. When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat, we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city. Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go there again.
