Reading Comprehension. The II Term Variant I WHAT A NIGHT! One night last November, something terrible happened. We were getting ready to go to bed when it started raining. We weren't worried because it often rains here, but there are rarely any serious problems. At 2am my sister woke me up and said, 'There's water everywhere!' From the top of the stairs, the living room downstairs looked like a lake! We went downstairs and saw our parents trying to get the furniture off the wet floor. Our father told us not to panic. He had started taking some things upstairs, so we helped him. Of course we got really wet. Half an hour later, our father called the fire brigade because more water was coming in. They told us to turn off the electricity and wait. The whole town had flooded and they couldn't help everyone. I started crying, 'We're going to drown!' I shouted. My mother took my sister and me back to bed. However, the temperature had dropped so it was very cold and we couldn't sleep. The rain stopped the next morning. A fire engine arrived at noon and the firefighters started pumping out the water. As soon as they left, we started cleaning up. We were exhausted but relieved. It was a difficult job because everything was a mess. The flood had destroyed lots of our things. We even had to throw away my new computer and all my computer games. It was a horrible night!
