Electric Scooter for Kids North Las Vegas Nevada

B. inggris It was a Monday morning, just about 8:15. I was actually a little early for once and was glad I didn’t have to race to work. It was my second week as a bank teller at Harrison Savings and Loan. There had been some freezing rain earlier that morning, but the roads seemed clear as I pulled out of the driveway. I turned left at the light, right at the Dunkin Donuts, and then left again onto the onramp for Route 61. I sped up to merge with the oncoming rush-hour traffic when suddenly I felt my car, a brand new SUV, lose control. I’d hit a patch of ice. What happened next probably lasted no more than fifteen seconds, but it felt like hours. I spun around like a top, turning two full revolutions as I crossed the two southbound lanes. Then I hit the median strip and the car flipped over as it crossed into the northbound traffic. I skidded across the highway and the car stopped in the right-hand lane. There I was, upside-down and backwards, after it slipped sideways on the highway, and somehow I was alive. Somehow I hadn’t hit a single car. However, I had no time to appreciate that miracle, because when I looked out the shattered windshield, I saw an 18-wheeler was bearing down upon meat about 65 miles an hour. There was no time to get out of the car. (Adapted from: 501 Writing Prompts, 2003) After you read the text above, answer the following questions:
