Last Tuesday morning, it was very windy when I woke up. As soon as I set off for the airport, it began to rain hard. What a special way to start a holiday!
While I was driving to the airport, the storm got worse. Suddenly a huge flash of lighting(闪电) hit a tree. It came straight down just meters in front of my car. The fallen tree completely blocked (堵塞) the road, so I was stuck. I tried to call for help on my mobile phone, but the line was dead.
I was sure that I'd miss my plane, so I turned on the radio and tried to get used to the idea. Soon there was a loud knock at the window. To my surprise, it was a young man in leather clothes, "Need a ride, sir?" He asked. My plane was leaving in an hour so I didn't think twice, I took my bags, climbed carefully onto the motorcycle(摩托车)and shouted, "To the airport please!"
It was my first time on a motorcycle so I was badly nervous. The young man drove so fast that I kept my eyes closed all the way. Suddenly, the motorcycle came to a stop. "Here we are, sir!" he said. I looked at my watch and there were only ten minutes left. I was just in time for my flight. The young man wished me a nice trip, then quickly drove away.
