American History - QuickWrite

There is one moment in my life which I would never forget, it was the 921 earthquake. It was when I was only two years old. While in my sweet dream, suddenly, my mom woke me up and brought me up to her arms. All I could remember was shelves tumbling, chairs knocked down, and random items scattered all over the floor. Since we lived in an apartment, we opened the doors for emergencies and started to run down the stairs. As we escorted to the lobby of our apartment, there were also other neighbors who also escaped down to the safe spot. I slowly fell asleep and then thats all I remembered. As the next day I woke up, video clips of the earthquake were all over the news. Hsinchu was luckily one of the least damaged cities in Taiwan, unlike places in the south, things were bad. Houses destroyed, pipes broken, electricity down, and people wanting food urgently. Even now, the 921 earthquake was still one of the most terrifying natural disasters that have happened in Taiwan.

How To Eat A Guava - QuickWrite

One of my favorite fruit to eat are watermelons. Even though it is one of the hardest fruits to break open and cut into pieces, it is one of the fruits that I like eating. As you use a huge knife to slice the watermelon in half, you could feel the hardness of the shell, and then suddenly the softness of the fruit itself. After slicing the watermelon into pieces, it would be the time to eat. As you bite down onto the fruit, the richness of the juice would spread all over your mouth. The sweet, watery, and iciness of the watermelon can be one of the best thing you can get on a hot summer day. Eating watermelon during the summer would be one of the things that I must do. Since there is no other fruit that can be better than watermelons during the hot blazing summer. Watermelons can be as good wen in liquid form. After cutting them into pieces, throw it in a blender, and there you have a delicious and smooth watermelon juice. The same sweet, watery, and iciness of the watermelons would be in the juice itself, too. Since this is a fruit that can be eaten in more than one way, it would definitely be my favorite fruit to pass through the summer days.
