参考范文
An Unforgettable Experience
Everyone has some unforgettable experiences. I had a very unforgettable experience.
Last summer holiday, I learned to swim. I went to the swimming pool with my father. He taught me how to swim. At first, I was afraid of diving in the water. And I felt uncomfortable in the water. But my father always encouraged me. He said he would protect me. Then I began to swim, but I couldn’t swim forward at all. It made me upset. Then my father told me how to move, how to stretch out my hands and legs. Slowly, I could move a little. It took me ten days to learn to swim.
What an unforgettable experience it was!
