I ___16___ to wake my husband up and asked him to carry our daughter and ran out of our house. We were ___17___ our house moving from side to side from outside. It lasted for just 3 minutes but tiles(瓦片) came down and some narrow gaps appeared on the ___18___.

Nevertheless as we had planned I went to my daughter’s school at 9:00 but no one was there except the teacher who ___19___ us to get back to our house as ___20___ might come soon.

Arriving at my house I was wondering about the presents: to whom we should ___22___? After some discussion we decided to give them to the children in ___23___.
