5. I had a close friend named Rossy. She was my desk mate when I was in Junior High.
We had many unforgettable experiences and I’ll tell you one of them.
One day, we went to a reservoir near my house. It was very quiet. Nobody else was
there then. There was an empty boat moored at the bank of the reservoir. Rossy asked
me to ride on the boat, but I declined. You know, I could not swim then. However,
Rossy insisted we ride on the boat and told me that everything would be fine. She
convinced me that she could swim. After considering, I agreed to get on the boat.
Rossy took the cars and gave me one of them. Then, one of us paddled the boat
together. We paddled and paddled. We didn’t realized that we had paddled a long way.
Suddenly, the wind blew hard. Our boat lost its balanced and we plunged into the water.
I was very panicky. Since I could not swim.
Fortunately, Rossy was adroit. She swam, with me on her back. After a hard struggle,
we finally reached the bank of the reservoir.

6. Since that moment, I learned to swim. It was really a memorable experience. It was
Monday morning. I arrived at school very early. Nobody else had arrived yet.
As usual I walked towards my desk on the third row. When I wanted to take a seat, I
was very surprised. You know what! There was a gift on my chair. It was small and
looked nice. It was neatly wrapped in pink paper and tied with red ribbons.
I took it and put it on my desk, but I didn’t dare to open it. I was terrified. I remembered
the terror bomb threat, which recently happened. I gazed around, but nobody was there.
I tried to convince myself that it was not a bomb. It was a gift for me. However, it was
not my birthday.
Finally, my courage rose. I was sure it was a gift for me. I carefully opened the
wrapping paper and untied the ribbons. I opened the small box and found a very nice
hairclip. Wow! It was the hairclip which I wanted to buy. I tried to get the sender’s
name, but I found nothing. Who had put it here then? How could the person know what
I wanted?
Before I stopped wondering, my desk mate appeared at the door. I told her about the
gift. As a response, she just smiled and said, “That is for you.”
Understanding the response, I knew that she was the one who had given me the gift. I
hurriedly grabbed her and said thanks.
