SURVIVAL !

One day in 2006 we were travelling to Sri Lanka by a cruise ship. There were two thousand passengers on the ship. It was a wonderful day, the sun was shining and we were near the coast.
We could see a beautiful city and long beaches from the ship. We were very exciting. In the morning we had breakfast after that we went swimming in the pool. Around one o'clock we had lunch. In the afternoon we were watching animals in the sea from board.
The ship was very big, it had two pools, a sauna, a casino, a disco and a cinema. The travelling was very expensive.
The next day we were in our room. At three o'clock the captain told us that there were some problems with electricity. All the people were very scared. We wanted to leave the room but the door didn't open. Soon the room was full of water. We were screaming. In the room there were no widows. Then we took fire-extinguisher and crashed the door. We saw emergency exit sign. We ran out. There was a crowd of people.
Life boats were full of people therefore we jumped in the water. Then we swam to the coast. When we were near the coast, the ship sank.
A lot of people died that day, but we didn't.
