三. Article
I was cooking when the power cut occurred this noon. It was very hot and the temperature up to 40 degrees, so power cut made it harder to stand. I couldn't stay at home in such a hot day, thus I went to the supermarket, where air conditioners made hot weather bearable. I stayed there until 5 o'clock p.m., when I knew the electricity was back.
