This afternoon, for the first time in my life, I went to a swimming pool to learn to swim.
I went there with my Mom, who had tried it for 3 times but never succeeded, and my sister, who had visited a swimming pool on a class trip (she hadn't swum much there, but it still counts). So I was the only one there who had no experience with water.

| The first swimming pool in my life |
You should have seen my face on the way, well, as if I were going to my own execution. I didn't want to, if you ask me. I only agreed to go there because my mother insisted. She told me that swimming would make me tall and slim like Miss World, and she also told me that if I couldn't float after 2 weeks, she would... well, I don't know what she would do to me, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't going to be very pleasant. So I was dragged to my execution by my two very excited executors. It was quite understandable, my mom was having her fourth execution. But for me, it was the first time! I never liked water, and water never liked me!
It was raining all the way, so we got soaked even before getting in water. Yeah, that's a good joke. It doesn't matter anyway, soaked or not soaked, I was surely going to die.However I protested, at last we got there. It was quite a big swimming pool situated near our home, and (thank gods!) it wasn't very crowded at that time. I put on my swim suit (for the first time) and didn't dare look in the mirror until my sister said I looked alright. Indeed I did! My mom said those flowers didn't suit me, but I guess she was only jealous because her swimming suit was not as pretty as mine. (Oh please, don't tell her I said that!)
Despite the rain, we got in the water and met our teacher, Mrs.Tuyen (my least favorite name!). First she gave us a bunch of floats to put on our back and arms, which made me feel like ducks. Then she told us to take a deep breath, then dive and make a lot of bubbles. It was quite fun despite the fact that you have to close your eyes underwater and therefore you can't see how wonderful your bubbles are. After that, she told us to hold another float and move forwards in the water, moving our legs like frogs. That took the rest of the hour, along with a lot of shouting, coughing, and even tasting the pool water (it wasn't so ill-tasting, by the way, but if you drink too much, it might make you sick).
The very moment I started to enjoy this frog thing, the bell rang and the teacher said good-bye. I unwillingly changed my clothes (oh I was so pretty in my swimming costume!) and went home. Well, the swimming pool wasn't so awful after all...
The worst/best part of it is that tomorrow afternoon we're going there again!
My first blog entry in English...
Excellent! There is some new and quite straight words with me, but I tried to read all. I think it's a good entry. I can learn something from the way you write an essay.
This was the first time you've swum. And good luck to you for the next time. See you soon
Thanks! And MrAnonymous, may I know your name?
P.S: Holic, if that's you, I hope you'll do well in you placement test :))
It's your sister. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thao. Not Mr. Holic.
