Reading Comprehension. The II Term Variant I WHAT A NIGHT! One night last November, something terrible happened. We were getting ready to go to bed when it started raining. We weren't worried because it often rains here, but there are rarely any serious problems. At 2am my sister woke me up and said, 'There's water everywhere!' From the top of the stairs, the living room downstairs looked like a lake! We went downstairs and saw our parents trying to get the furniture off the wet floor. Our father told us not to panic. He had started taking some things upstairs, so we helped him. Of course we got really wet. Half an hour later, our father called the fire brigade because more water was coming in. They told us to turn off the electricity and wait. The whole town had flooded and they couldn't help everyone. I started crying, 'We're going to drown!' I shouted. My mother took my sister and me back to bed. However, the temperature had dropped so it was very cold and we couldn't sleep. The rain stopped the next morning. A fire engine arrived at noon and the firefighters started pumping out the water. As soon as they left, we started cleaning up. We were exhausted but relieved. It was a difficult job because everything was a mess. The flood had destroyed lots of our things. We even had to throw away my new computer and all my computer games. It was a horrible night!

It was a girl trip, only me and my mum. We had to take the coast bus to Haugesund very early at the morning. We arrived Haugesund airport and took the plain to Stansted airport in London. I was very excited and had huge expectations because I had heard a lot positive about London before. When we took the bus from the airport to the hotel, I looked at the places we drove true. The houses were different from norway, a lot of them were made of brick. I could see already that london was a lot bigger than Stavanger. We came to a hotel, called Picadilly hotel or something, because the hotel was in a place called Picadilly sircus. Me and my mum were both tiard after the trip, so we decided to relax a bit this first evening. We took the sightseeing bus and looked at all the nice buildings, and for me who is interessted in culture (buildings, nature and so on) this was awsome. The bus trip lasted for about one hour. In the beginning of the trip it was light and we saw everything perfectly clear, we saw big ben, buckingham palace, and a lot of other increadable buildings. After some minutes it became a bit dark, and it was so nice to be on the sightseen bus, it was beautiful. A lot of light from all the buildings and bridges and so on. It was really an amazing journey just to sit on that bus.
