    At the age of nine, I was taking swimming lessons at a pool. One day, there was a test to see if I could reach a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (high) level than before.

    Fifteen of us were asked to take {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (turn) to swim from one side of the pool to the other. I watched my classmates tried and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (fail) one by one. I was the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (twelve) person to swim. W{#blank#}5{#/blank#} it was my turn, I was very nervous. It was about halfway that I got choked (呛水). I immediately stopped and caught the side of the pool. I ended my test. Our instructor, (教练) a college student, was standing next to  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (I). "Why did you stop?" he shouted {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (angry). "I got water in my nose," I explained.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} instructor said that as soon as you met a few difficulties, you gave up trying your dream. How could you become successful? You must learn to overcome the difficulties in your life. Only {#blank#}9{#/blank#} this way, can you r{#blank#}10{#/blank#} your dream. From then on, I decided to face everything bravely.
