Give a two-minute talk. Everything was lost, instantly destroyed and commingled with a few neighbouring houses when the 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck the town at night on a day last year.<\/p>\n Many big buildings collapsed one after the other. All who were asleep were in a 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. Now a lot of people had gathered and witnessed the aftereffect of the earthquake. We cried for a long time over the disaster, were so scared of it.<\/p>\n 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. A few houses that withstood the tremor were too badly cracked to be habitable. The owners were too fearful to set foot in them. Thousands of people had to shelter in temporary camps.<\/p>\n The fear lasted in my mind for a long time. I could hardly eat and sleep. I was a 14-year-old student. I had to sit for my annual examination for class 9. Many volunteers helped me prepare for my examinations. Both of my parents survived after the medical treatment for injuries, but we live in the camp still.<\/p>\n We eat and pass the time together. I am still frightened and nervous. I lost my home and my family has lost everything. My friends and I lost our pet dogs and parrots. We don\u2019t know what will happen next or if the government will come forward to help us. All we can do now is try to reclaim whatever we can from our house.<\/p>\n Even now any mild sound causes a big tremor in my mind taking me back to the horrible deadly earth quake. \u201cThe very word earth quake easily shakes me even now. Let me not be awake to witness another earth quake.\u201d \u201cThank You one and all\u201d.<\/p>\n E. Using a dictionary find out the synonyms and the antonyms of the words given below.
