Mother always said I was born to swim. I was
41 at the amazing fact. If this was true, then why was I afraid of water? I went to swim every summer, but I made
42 progress. I was worried and blamed myself several times. When I watched people swimming
43 , how I wished I had learnt to swim!
The story of how I learnt to swim is dramatic. One summer afternoon, my
44 and I went to the swimming pool to swim. While he was
45 his clothes, I was wandering along the bank of the pool. Suddenly I heard a voice, “
46 !” and then came a big noise and
47 splashes(溅水). Just when I was
48 the swimmer’s skills, I slipped into the pool! I was so afraid that I
49 at once! But the water kept coming towards me and I
50 lots of it. I was moving upside down and trying to reach the
51 . I was struggling very hard to keep my head
52 the water. A(n)
53 was like a hundred years to me. To my surprise, I was able to keep the style! Just then, my father saw me and he seemed to be
54 . He then said, “Calm down, just
55 your arms and legs like this. Right!” And I
56 it! I finally learnt to swim! You can’t imagine how happy I was and I wanted to
57 for joy!
From this experience I learnt that one’s power is
58 . Sometimes you could show that power in an emergency. If you believe that, you will discover the power
59 within yourself and achieve your goals. And one has to stay calm when it’s
60 . To calm down helps you to think clearly and make the best decision.
