“Fire! Fire!” I was woken up by terrible words in the middle of the night. It was a large, old wooden building and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and came into the passage(走廊), but it was full of thick smoke.

　 I began to run downstairs. When I got to the second floor, I found the smoke grew thicker and the fire was terribly big. The floor became hot under my feet. I saw an open door and rushed into a room. I decided to jump out of the window.
