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!

    Lisa has always been fat. She wanted to lose weight, not only because she wanted to look smarter and healthier, but also because it would make life {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(easy).

    For example, it was difficult {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Lisa to find ready-made clothes. She had to ask a tailor(裁缝) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (make) clothes that were large enough. In the school, she needed a special chair that was bigger and stronger than other {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (chair). If she went for a walk, she got tired very {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(quick).

    She was also unhappy about the way people treated her sometimes. She couldn't enjoy having dinner with her friends {#blank#}6{#/blank#}she was afraid to get fatter.

    But now things are quite different. Last month, her classmates were preparing for the School Art Week. They {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(invite) Lisa to play the lead role of the Proud Queen who was tall and fat. Lisa agreed and practiced a lot.

    Soon after the play, Lisa became a star! She did so well {#blank#}8{#/blank#}everybody remembered the Proud Queen. She even won the School Best Actress Award for {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(she) wonderful performance.

    Now Lisa doesn't worry {#blank#}10{#/blank#}being fat any more. She believes in the English saying "Every dog has its day".
