Lightning is the release of electrical energy in
the sky. Lightning can start fires. It also can
kill. During a storm, the normally neutral
particles in clouds hit each other. They become
electrically charged. As they flow toward each
other, they form an electric spark of light.
Some lightning is created between clouds. Other
lightning is created within clouds. And some is
created when negative charges from a clouds base
move down to meet positive charges rising from
Earth.

any tall object. Stay out of and away from

Lightning that strikes the Earth carries one or
more electrical discharges called strokes. The
bright light seen in a flash of lightning is
called a return stroke. Return strokes travel at
the speed of light. They discharge about
one-hundred million volts of electricity. They
heat the air to more than thirty-three-thousand
degrees Celsius. Air heated by return strokes
expands and produces the sound of thunder.

Why Some People are Poor
The poverty line is minimum income that
people need for an acceptable standard of living.
People with incomes below the poverty line are
considered poor
As the general standard of living rises,
the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with
todays relatively high standard of living, about
10 percent of the people in the United States are
below the poverty line. Economists suggest
several reasons.
For one thing, more than half of the poor
people are not qualified to work. By law,
children less than 16 years old can not work in
many industries many companies do not hire
people over 65 years old, which is considered the
normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for
a variety of personal reasons. Other poor people
look for a job but cant find one. Many poor
adults never went to high school. Therefore, when
they look for jobs, they have few skills that
they can offer.

My Personal Experience in the Urgent Situation
Sample
Everyone has his unforgettable
experience in his mind, so do I. I will never
forget a night 15 years ago.
It was a peaceful moonless night. The
village where I live had fell asleep, only the
dogs bark can be heard. I was so tired and slept
soundly. Suddenly I seemed to hear my fathers
frightened yell Help! Help! My house is
catching fire! I had thought it as a dream at
first, but soon, I realized it was true because I
found I couldnt breathe in the thick smoke. In
no time, the whole family rushed out of the house
without taking out anything. Standing on the
ground, we could do nothing but shouting Help!
Help! The fire! The fire! Soon, many villagers
rushed toward us, lifting barrels of water.

73
Writing practice (2)

The peaceful village was full of peoples
yelling and shouting. More and more people rushed
toward here, soon, the house was surrounded by
people. everyone was trying to put out the fire
with water or something else. In stead, my
parents and I were too feared to do anything. The
fire was extinguished immediately.
Now, 15 years have passed, but I will never
forget that night and those warm-hearted and
helpful villagers.
