A Terrifying Journey to Tawangmangu

Last year, I had the most terrifying experience in my life. My friends and I decided to go to Tawangmangu without telling our parents. We rode motorcycles and left early in the morning. At first, everything was fine. We were so happy and excited to enjoy our holiday.

After spending the whole day in Tawangmangu, we went home in the late afternoon. Suddenly, it started to drizzle. The road became wet and slippery. My friend who drove the motorcycle in front of me was riding too fast. We shouted and asked him to slow down, but he didn’t listen.

Then, it happened. His motorcycle slipped and crashed on the road. We were shocked and tried to help him quickly. Some people nearby also came to help and called an ambulance. We were very scared because our friend was badly injured. He was taken to the hospital. Sadly, later that night, we heard that he passed away.

It was the most painful moment in my life. I regretted everything. We should have asked permission from our parents and not acted carelessly. That incident taught me a very important lesson that I will never forget.
