The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their apartment often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor（走廊）through the smoke.They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Mary. Jane began banging on Mary’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know
Mary’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Mary’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”
Paragraph1:Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Paragraph 2:Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.
【范文】
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot. He
comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane’s hand tightly. By then, both of them were
coughing and their eyes were stinging. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run
for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying.
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and
offered help.A sense of strength immediately replaced
the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane’s mind. She told them Mary must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough, Mary was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom’s joy was immense.
