Speech: THE EARTH QUAKE

I am here to speak to you about the earth quake which shook our area terribly. I have no words to express the disaster.

Everything was lost, The Richter scale was recorded 7.5. The earthquake struck the town at night on a day last year. Many big buildings collapsed one after the other. All who were asleep were in panic, Soon they got up, they ran out the open area. I too ran out of my house. I looked at my house and wept bitterly.

A month after the disaster it was found out that over 3000 people were killed and thousands of people were injured and hundreds of people homeless.

The fear lasted in my mind for a long time. I could hardly eat and sleep. I was a 14 years old student. I had to sit for my annual examination for class 9, Many volunteers helped me to prepare for my examinations. Both of my parents survived after the medical treatment for injuries, but we live in the camp still. I lost my home and my family has lost everything.

Even now any mild sound causes a big sound in my mind taking me back to the horrible deadly earth quake.
