THERE WAS FIRE IN A HOTEL IN BARCELONA
When I was at the hotel, on my last holidays (8th August 2009), a strange thing happened. I was listening to music in front of the reception with my friends and everybody started running and shouting. We didn't know what was happening. There was fire in the kitchen. When we knew that, we went outside. The firemen were arriving, but everybody was scared. When the firemen extinguished the fire, they told us what happened: the cook didn't see that he left the oven on. He went out and forgot the oven. When he returned, he saw the fire and called the firemen. Then, thay arrived and extinguished the fire.
When the fire started, I didn't know what was happening. I saw a lot of people running out of the hotel, but why? The other people were in the swimmingpool, in the restaurant or in their rooms. The situation was frightening because I saw everybody shouting and running outside the hotel, but it wasn't frightening too because I didn't know what was happening. When I knew what was happening, I went outside the hotel running, too.
When the accident finished, everybody returned to the swimmingpool, to the restaurant and to their rooms. I felt that I was very frightened when I knew that was fire. When everything was finished, I called this newspaper to write this accident in the hotel.
