Quickwrite - Memorable Moments In My Life

In my life, currently, there are two memorable moments that I will never forget in my entire life.
It's the morning of September 17, 2001, I woke up and switched on the light as usual, but at that time, the light didn't brighten even I switched it on. I felt very strange and went out of my room, and I saw my family members were all looking at outside. I moved forward to the windows and saw a scary image that I'll never forget in my life: there was flood everywhere; the yellow water penetrated into the underground market across the street, and someone was even swimming just to make sure was his car safe from the water. I asked my dad what happened, my dad said that it's due to the strong typhoon, which arrived at Taiwan around midnight. At that time, my grandma and mom were watching the news about the typhoon that was attacking Taiwan; TV showed the video of the flood, which destroyed all of the buildings on the street. However, I wasn't scared though, my dad and I even went downstairs to see what happened. This is the scariest -- although I didn't feel scared at all -- moment I've ever seen in my entire life.
Here's another memorable moment; I went aboard to Florida with my parents to study there about half a year. After we adapt the circumstances there, we went visit those famous, large amusement parks in Orlando and Tempa like Disney World, Sea World, and Universal Studios almost every weekend. The moments we had there were the happiest moments of my life; playing excited roller coaster in Sea World and Universal Studios, watching great shows and learning lots of things in Disney World and watching car racing in Tempa, those were all interesting and unforgettable experiences.

Quickwrite -- My Favorite Fruit

My favorite fruit must be apples. When I was 4 years old, in the living room of my house, my mom carried a plate of sliced peeled apples and put it on the table in front of me, and then she went back to the kitchen. As I remembered, that plate of apples was for the guests who were soon after coming to our house, and maybe due to my naughty personality then, I secretly took one of the slices and ate it. When I first tasted the slice, I was surprise at the taste of it and would like to try another one; when I tried to have the second slice, my mom saw this, and she was very surprise that I finally started eating fruits. Since then, I fell in love with eating apple, and I still like it now.
The taste of apples is sweet and juicy, but sometimes it depends on the quality of the apples; if the apple you eat is sweet, juicy and crispy, the apple you eat is good. I've eaten lots of kinds of apples, some are from Japan; some are from the America; some are from my homeland, Taiwan. As my experience, place of production of apples can't judge the quality of the apples, it's about the environment apples grow and the framer who plants them. Apples are often red, but there are also green and yellow apples; red and yellow apples usually taste sweeter, and green apples usually taste sour. Here's another thing, when you are judging qualities of an apple, besides looking at it, you can also smell is there something smell lightly sweet; if there is, and there's no potholes on it, the apple you choose is good.
I can tell that apples are the best fruit ever since Eve was also attracted by the amazing smell and look of apples and ate it soon after.
