When I was eight years old, my family moved from Japan to Canada. In Japan, I was a lively girl who enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes and loved making people laugh with my jokes and creating imaginative games to play with my friends. However, when we settled in Canada, I struggled to adapt. I was born shy and wasn't good at making new friends. During my first days at school I looked at others who were talking in groups happily. How I wish I were one of them!
We settled in a comfortable house with a nice garden where we grew vegetables—my responsibility. While I enjoyed looking after them, I often daydreamed about having a great garden like my classmate Alice's, with its roses. Despite living in the same neighborhood, Alice and I hardly talked.
It was a hurricane that brought Alice and I closer.
The hurricane struck on an afternoon. The gentle wind turned into a heavy storm, and the sky became dark with thick gray clouds. Gradually, the hurricane took shape. My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Frightened, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged.
As I stepped outside, I witnessed(见证) the extent of the damage the hurricane had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing(严重破坏) Alice's garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, none of her family was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the roses and debris(碎片) spread everywhere. The roses that Alice used to be proud of were gone.
