the overall format of the paragraph is well written , but when zooming into certain words in the phrase you may want to show some more detail to the examiner by explaining what the reader/audience might feel , for example The adjective 'afraid'portrays the worrying nature of the young girl, as she struggles to take action , you might what to detail this sentence further by saying " This then presents an anxious tone to the reader as they start to see the young girl's reaction towards the earthquake which then solidifies her frightened compusure" .The further explanation can really show your understanding of the extract , hope this helps :smile:
