Last year. I spent my summer holidays in a seaside town. The hotel was modern and comfortable. I had a wonderful holiday until the fire.
It was Saturday evening and everybody was in the discotheque on the ground floor, It was crowed with people. They were dancing and singing happily. Suddenly, we felt smoke. The black smoke began to fill up the room. Everybody began to scream in panic. People ran towards the fire exits. One door was blocké. Many people began to cough and choke.
Then, just as we all Ihoughl we had only minutes to live, the fire brigade arrived. Firemen fought their Way into the room, and soon, everyone was safely out of the building. Luckily, nobody was seriously hurt. It was the most frightening experience of my life.
