I was excited to
participated in my first summer camp and curious to know who I would meet and
make friends with. I knew deep down in my heart it would be a wonderful
experience.
The first day were
tests to see what level swimmers were in the pool and a treasure hunt to help
us learn our way around the campground. Our second day was extremely hot, so
one of the camp counselors took us to the best place for cooling down. "Woo-hoo!"
the counselor shouted as he led the way into the shallow part of the lake. We
all ran after him like a bunch of ducklings and happily splashed around. Well, all
of us except for one kid named Max, who sat on the dock looking the opposite of
us.
That was a surprising
thing to me. The day before, when we took tests to see what level swimmers we
were in the pool, Max turned out to be the most advanced level possible. Not
just in one thing, but in everything: sidestroke, backstroke, the crawl, breaststroke,
holding breath underwater. Max was, no question, the very best swimmer at camp.
"So why was he sitting miserably?"
I swam over and said, "I'm
sorry to bother you, but I'm wondering why you're not in the water. After all, we
found out yesterday that you're kind of a half fish. " "OK, I'll tell
you, but it's a little embarrassing. " he said, "Even though I'm kind
of a half fish, I' m afraid of real fish and of anything else that might be
swimming in the murky water. I swim only in clear swimming pools. I've never
actually gone in a lake. "

Paragraph

"Don t be
embarrassed. "I said kindly.
Paragraph
2:
"I'll go first, and
then you follow me to go under water: "I waved to Max.
答案:Para 1: "Don't be embarrassed." I said kindly. I told him that we were all afraid of some kind of silly stuff. I took myself as an example. I was totally freaked out by the darkness. Soon, we were both laughing heartily. That broke the ice enough for me to say," You know, when I'm feeling afraid of the dark, I turn on the light for a minute so I can see that there's nothing to be scared of. You might feel better if you take a look at what's actually under the water." Para 2: "I'll go first, and then you follow me to go under water." I waved to Max. I grabbed a pair of goggles and put it on. I dived under for a few seconds before coming up. "Nothing scary!" I reported. Max hesitated, and then took a deep breath, and went under the water for about three seconds." Any lake monsters?" I asked when he emerged. He laughed and pointed at some harmless little fish. "Only these tiny kind things." Sometimes laughing fearful things off was a good method to overcome fear.
