I'm a survivor of atomic bombing (原子弹轰炸)of Nagasaki, Japan. I was born on December 25, 1944, so when the bombs fell on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, I was only nine months old. My family were not even in the city of Nagasaki. We were outside.
There are three ways that atomic bombs can kill you. One is the blast (冲击波). That knocks down all the buildings nearby. The second is the fireball. And those who were touched by the fireball disappeared immediately. And the third way is the radiation (辐射).
I remember both my mother and my sister were sick in bed. And when I was six, they died.
When my sister died, I heard her doctor tell my father that I wouldn't live to see my tenth birthday. So I knew that I was not going to live long. Whenever I get a simple cold, I thought this might be the end of my life.
I also felt that it was wrong for me to stay alive. Why did my sister and my mother, who were wonderful people, had to die? And yet L, who am not worthy, am still alive? It kills everything on its way. It kills slowly. and painfully.
If the United States is attacked with radioactive weapons, millions of people will die. If North
Korea is attacked, Korea, Japan, part of China and even Russia will be affected I want all nations to come together and start finding a way of getting rid of nuclear weapons altogether.

B. There was a huge fireball in both cities.
C. Therefore, I was always worried about my health.
D. The radioactive dust was what started killing our family.
E. It always does much more harm than good to human being.
F. This feeling is the kind of weapon that shouldn't be allowed on the earth
G. However, radiation from the bombing went far beyond the city limits and harmed us.
