Yesterday I slept early. I woke up in horror when I heard people screaming. I went out and
saw: my neighbours’ house was on fire! My dad called the firemen in less than 10 minutes they
arrived and fought against the fire until they made it. They are really brave! One of them
entered the house and saved the baby that was trapped in the fire. Our neighbour forgot to turn
off the oven which started the fire. This accident taught me that we should check the electric
sets and ovens before we go to sleep. It made me decide that when I grow up, I want to be a
fireman. I’ll be strong and brave enough to be suitable for the job. I will fight against the fire, to
save people’s lives. If you have a relative works as a firefighter, you should be proud of them.
They really do a great job. ضساخىا ًف اّؤاْتأ
