The city was paralyzed(瘫痪)by the snowstorm Mayor Daley ordered the city workers to work around the clock to clear the streets. but the snow fell faster than they could plow(清扫). By Friday the whole city was shut down.

No one at our house went to work or school.Ten feet of snow blocked our door. At first it was fun to be free of school, but we soon earned we would be locked in our home Little did we know that our snow day would grow into four days of being trapped inside our house.

After a good 24 hours of staying at home, my sister, brother and I were all very bored and driving the adults in the house crazy.They suggested we take our shovels(铲) and gooutside challenging us to dig a way to the street.

We were excited to have something to do.Before we made it out the door, our mother asked us to take our brother Robert, who was only about 4 years old at the time.

We began digging, but not thinking ahead we threw each shovel full of snow over our shoulders,filling in the road behind us. When we reached the street, we turned to admire our work only to realize we had filled in the road back to the house.We would need to start shoveling all over again.

第二节

One possible version:

It was then that we realized we had lost little Robert. We were supposed to be watching him, and now he had disappeared into the snow. With no footprints or any other signs to follow,coupled with the thought that our mother would kill us for losing him, we began to shout his name. We looked around and waited for a response. However, there was no response at all. With nobody to turn to for help, we were at a loss what to do next.

Then suddenly we noticed a little hand sticking up out of the snow.It must be Robert We looked at one another and realized that we must have buried him as we threw the snow over our shoulders. We plowed our way through the snow and quickly uncovered him. Luckily,Robert was safe and sound.We made him promise not to tell Mom we had“lost” him. Robert happily agreed because he thought it was fun to be buried alive and wanted to do it again. But for us, it was not fun at all.
