Here is a piece of writing about the rain.

How do you think I’m going with my goal?

Clouds grew darker, drip, drop, drip, drop. Rain splashed on the shivering roof. Slowly and silently, dark stormy clouds sealed the last eager peaking rays of the warm sun. All went silent. Suddenly… a loud CRACK! , FLASH!. Rain thudded down on our cold quivering bodies.We ran, tripping over each other, desperately trying to get under the covers. We panted like someone who had just ran a marathon. Gazing out the rain splattered window. Gutters gushed frantically, trying to drown the ever plunging rain drops. As I stared at the gloomy clouds above, the soft glowing sun shone a few warm rays through a few tiny gaps of the now lighter and scattered clouds. Plip, plop,plip,plop. The rain now just sprinkled down. “Hooray”!!! We all sprang outside as fast as cheetahs.
