In the summer of 1999, a small town called Golcuk was shaken by a big earthquake in north-western Turkey. It destroyed the whole town and other nearby places. Soon enough, help from other countries flew there for one purpose, “saving lives”. Nowadays wherever an earthquake strikes, other countries are ready to send help. That is really something that, as human beings, we should be proud of.
When the earthquake struck, I was living in my hometown of Ankara, capital of the Turkey. Despite the 220-mile distance between the two locations, we still were able to feel the shakes.
I had a chance to visit Golcuk a couple times when I was a kid. My uncle who lives in Germany has a summer house there, and every summer they stay in Golcuk for their yearly vacation. After the quake struck, we couldn’t contact them, so we didn’t know if they were in Golcuk or in Germany during the quake. Our unsuccessful attempts worried us, and the only thing we wanted to hear was that they were OK. Without wasting any more time, my brother, my sister’s husband, and I decided to drive there to check on them by ourselves.

99年夏天,土耳其西北部小镇格尔居克发生强烈地震.整个小镇被破坏并波及附近地区.很快,来自其他国家的援助空运至此,他们只有一个目的,挽救生命.现在每当发生地震,其他国家都准备援助,作为人类,这足以令人自豪.
 地震发生时,我住在我的故乡-土耳其首都,安卡拉.尽管两地有220英里之遥,我们仍有震感.
小时候,我有机会去过格尔居克几次.我住在德国的叔叔在那儿有一座夏季度假的房子,每年夏天他们都在那儿度年假.地震发生后,我们联系不上他们,所以我们不知道地震发生时他们是在德国还是在格尔居克.联系不上使我们非常担心,
