Unit 4 EarthquakesMy earthquake storyMy name is Mahnaz Bibi and I'm from a village of Muzaffarabad，Azad Kashmir.We were living a happy and comfortable life.I had my husband Mukhtar Ali and a son Mushahid Ali.Mushahid was the whole world for me.On October 8th，I came out of my house after feeding Mushahid to do some work out there.I was working when the earth started shaking from north to west.I had never felt this kind of earthquake before.When I came to my senses I ran back to my house to save my son，as he was sleeping in the room.There was nothing but the debris(殘骸)of my house.I started crying loudly and asked the neighbours to help search for my child.I was praying(祈禱)to God to save my child from this disaster，but after three hours of my prayers，I lost my whole world.There was no one to bury Mushahid's body because everyone was burying their own children.We buried him on the 9th of October and suffered from rain the whole night.A few days later we left our village，because there was nothing left for us.We travelled a long distance over the mountains.In the end，we reached Muzaffarabad，Azad Kashmir and got shelter in the Ajaz Gillani Relief Tent Village.【詞海拾貝】1come to one's senses清醒過來，冷靜下來2search for尋找，搜索3suffer from遭受，忍受4in the end最后，終于5get shelter得到住處，得以避難【問題思考】1Why did the author leave her village?_答案：Because there was nothing left for
