Writing exercise

Writing Topic: What would you take with you if the world was being attacked by zombies and you had to leave your home? Why? Where would you go?

Original:

If the world was being attacked by zombies and I had to leave, I would take medicine with me as much as possible. It’s easier to get food and water in a man-made world, but it’s difficult to find medicine when it’s an emergency. So I think it’s better to prepare different kinds of medicine which can cure some common illness, like fever, scratch and so on. A lot of zombie movies tell us that we should take weapons by our sides in case of zombies’ attack, but I’m not sure I could fight back because they were human beings, just sick. So hiding well would be a better solution for me to escape the attack.
About where to go, I have no answer about this question. It would depend on the situation, normally speaking, I’d head to a place where there were fewer zombies wandering in. If the situation was serious, I would stay at my house and wait and figure another way out to survive.

I don’t know where I would go, as it would depend on the situation. Generally speaking, I’d head to a place where there were fewer zombies. If the situation was serious, I would stay at my house and wait and figure out another way  to survive.
