English (What makes you sad?)

Sad is a human’s emotion. Often, people may feel sad when people lose their trust, friendship or even love. Sometimes people may also feel sad when there were traffic accident claiming innocent lives. Also, people may also feel sad when they lose something important like house key, mobile phone and even their cash cards.

For me, I feel sad when my relatives had passed away especially those that had treated me well when they were still alive. I remembered that my aunt who had passed away when she was 75 years old when I was still in primary three. She had treated me like a precious child and she had bought anything that I liked. When she died, I was so sad that tears rolling down my cheeks. I kept telling myself that that wasn’t real and every night, I kept thinking about my aunt, the happy moments that we had when I was young. After a few days, I began to accept the truth of that my aunt was dead.

I also feel sad when I saw a few people died in natural disaster like tsunami and earthquake. The natural disaster that made me sad was the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The earthquake had killed more than a hundred thousand innocent lives. There were few thousands of people who are injured, more than thousands of people were missing, and millions of people were homeless. The Sichuan earthquake had created some aftershocks which exceeds the magnitude 6, causing more damage and more casualties.
