Question

Accident at the river bank It was a lovely day when we (0) off with great excitement on our (13) into the
forest. We had no idea that the day would turn (14) one of the worst days of our lives. We

thunder came, the rain became heavier and heavier. Suddenly, there was a terrifying roar and I shouted
to everyone to (17) away from the river bank and run as fast as they could. The next thing I

and could hardly move. Then I finally succeeded (20) getting to dry ground and lay there trying
to (21) out how far I'd been taken. Where were my friends? Were they OK? Suddenly, I heard
someone shouting my name, and there they all were, completely dry. I had been the only one who
had been washed away. It took us all a long time to get (22) the experience and I still refuse to
go near giver banks, even on sunny days!
