When I was a kid, I was afraid of water. However, my brother and sister loved water so much. Every time I got close to water, my body shook with fear. However, 1 just couldn't stop shouting and crying. Finally, my parents said I could stay at home when my brother and sister learned how to swim.
Then, when I was ten, I spent my summer vacation with my grandparents in the countryside. I loved that horse, but there was one problem. Each day, I had to take it down to the river for a drink of water. But when I led it to the river, my old fear got the best of me. I went back and Grandpa said, " I'll take the horse to the river. "
The next morning after breakfast, Grandpa told me to wear a pair of shorts. He took me down towards the river. He said, "I'm going to teach you to swim. "He held my hand as we got close to the water.
For some strange reasons, I wasn't afraid. First, we sat by the water and just talked. Then, holding tightly(紧紧地) to my grandfather's hand, I walked into the water.
