1 Mark and his family went to the beach, he bathed, and his parents sunbathed.2 Оn the morning of December 26, after breakfast, they went to the beach.3 While Mark was swimming, he heard horrible screams, they all pointed to the sea.4 A huge wave covered my head and I tried to breathe, but I was washed down with a wave to the bottom, but I broke free.5 Thais managed to pull Mark by the hand, he survived.6 hours later the helicopter descended after them and brought them to a safe place.7 On the hills, Mark felt more secure and lonely.8 Mark and his family left this island and two days later they left this place. They are lucky that they survived.9 They were lucky they just survived.10 They felt sorry that the local people had their houses washed away, and that so many people died.
