That evening, I came back from the supermarket and then turned on my computer. Suddenly I read the news saying an earthquake happened in Jiuzhaigou half an hour ago. Then I looked through a lot of information on the Internet. A few minutes later, I knew the news was true.

I was playing the guitar when I got a text message from my classmate Ted. He simply said, "An earthquake happened in Jiuzhaigou just now. "I thought he was just kidding. Then I put my guitar down and began to surf the Internet. The result showed that the news was true. I soon walked into the living room and told my mother the news. She was very surprised.

I don't usually watch TV on weekdays. That evening I finished my homework earlier than before, so I turned on the TV. I got the news about the earthquake from the reporters on TV.
