A few weeks ago, I visited Sydney, a perfect place to surf. I knew I couldn't leave it without going surfing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (I). I booked a group surf lesson when I was in Byron Bay. Byron Bay is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} really popular place for professional surfers to go!

    We first were asked to learn how to read the sea conditions and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to expect in the water. Then we did a warm-up by {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (run) along the beach. Next, it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) time to learn how to stand on the surfboard. We did it on the sand. After a lot of practice, we were ready to go out into the sea {#blank#}6{#/blank#} try it out on the water. I have to say, surfing is much {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (hard) than it looks. When you watch people from the beach, they make it look so easy! I failed many {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (time) to stand up. Then one of the coaches came to help me and held my board steady (平稳的).

    Finally I learnt how to do that and by the end of the lesson I had managed to "walk on water". It was an {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (amaze) feeling and I felt so proud {#blank#}10{#/blank#} myself!
