Suggested answer:
Last year, I spent my summer
holidays at a seaside hotel. The
hotel was modern and
comfortable. I had a wonderful
holiday until the fire.It was
Saturday evening and
everybody was siting in the
discotheque on the ground
floor.. It was crowded with
people. They was dancing and
singing happily. Suddenly we
smelt smoke. Then black smoke
began to fill in the room.
Everybody started to scream in
panic. People ran toward the fire
exits. One door was blocked.
Many people began coughing
and choking.
Then, just as we thought we had
only minutes to live, the fire
brigade arrived. Firemen fought
their way into the room and
soon everyone was safely out of
the building. Luckily, nobody
was seriously hurt. It was the
most frightening experience in
my life.
