M: so far, the quake in Sichuan has killed about 69,172 people and has left 374,159 people injured, 17,420 missing.
L: I feel so sorry for those victims. It's the scariest thing that I have ever seen.
M: did you feel the quake?
L: yes. Actually, I was traveling in Sichuan then.
M: oh,really? I didn't know that. Tell me what it was like.
L: well, it was on a Monday afternoon, a little after two o'clock, and I was reading some magazines when there was horrible grinding sound and the floor started bouncing and shaking.
M: oh, my dear! What did you do?
L: well, it took me a second or two to figure out what was going on. Then I called my colleague. It's unbelievable that she was still asleep and didn't feel a thing.
M: incredible.
L: as she realized what was happening, she panicked.
M: that must have been horrifying.
L: oh, it was. Then I managed to open the door and we finally made our way to safety.
M: oh, thank God. Was anyone hurt?
L: three people were killed and about fifty people were injured.
M: what a tragedy!
L: it was terrible. I hope it will never happen again!
