We sang all the way long while looking out of the window’s car. “Ohh it’s really beautiful scenery!”, I said. Because, we seemed very close to the beach.

Finally, we got there after waiting for a long time in the car. My mother, my father, my aunt, my uncle and my little sister just sat on a mat which was put by my mother next to beach. They were talking each other while enjoying the food. I stayed at the shallow area at the beach because I couldn’t swim at least. And, my cousins swam far from me. We seemed to very enjoy having vocation here. We could play water here. But, when I really enjoyed by myself, suddenly a big wave came forward me and made me drown for a while.

Luckily, there was a man who tried to help me. Still, I began to dissappear. The man swam forward me and looked for me. He was lucky to save me. Then, he took me aside. My parents, my aunt, my uncle,and my little sister finally came to me with my cousins. I was unconscious at the time. All of people looked at me and gave me some first aid.
