-> suggested answer: 
  Last year, I spent my summer holiday at a seaside town. The hotel was modern and comfortable. I had a wonderful holiday until it fired. It was Saturday evening and everybody was sitting in the discotheque on the ground floor. It was crowded with people. They were dancing and singing happily. Suddenly, we smelt smoke. Then black smoke began to fill the room. Everybody started to scream in panic. People ran toward the fire exits. One door was blocked. Many people began coughing and choking 
 Then, just as we thought we had only minutes to live, the fire brigade arrived. The firemen fought their way into the room and soon everybody was safely out of the building. Luckily, nobody was seirously hurt. It was the most frightening experience of my life.
