I was doing my homework one night when the lights suddenly went out. The flats in the opposite building were also in complete darkness.
While my parents groped (摸索) their way to 1 candles, I found my way to the 2. It was black outside as it was a moonless night. I could see the headlights of cars and buses on the road were on. The traffic became 3 because the traffic lights were not working.
After 4 the candles in our flat, my father took his torch(手电筒) and went out to check the lifts. I followed 5. All the lifts 6 working. And unluckily, some people were trapped(困在) in one of them. We called the fire station and a group of firemen 7 arrived to rescue these people. After helping the firemen, my father and I 8 our flat.
We carefully locked the doors and windows and then went to bed. The next morning, 9 I woke up, I quickly tested the light. I was 10 to find it working. Like others, I think the blackout (停电) brings problems and difficulties to our lives. I really hope that it won't happen too often.
