Yuki's Diary
Dear Diary,
It was very hot this afternoon, so Cody and I decided to go for a swim in the sea. We heard about a beautiful beach and wanted to check it out. Everything was perfect until a terrible accident happened. I was scared because Cody almost drowned.
Around 3 p.m., Cody and I got to the beach. Very few people knew about this place, so we were the only ones there besides a fisherman. We swam for some time and had a lot of fun. After swimming, I stayed on the beach for a rest and enjoyed the sound of the waves. Cody was still swimming far from the beach. He is the best swimmer in our school, so I wasn't worried at all.
Suddenly, a big wave hit Cody and he started to struggle. He shouted for help, and the fisherman rowed his boat over to save him. I called 119, and soon help came. Cody became conscious after they did CPR on him. Thank goodness!
"It's the most terrible but also the luckiest day of my life. Thank you for pulling me out of the water," Cody told the fisherman.
"It's nothing. Just remember to always swim near the beach here. The strong waves are dangerous," the fisherman said.
I will never forget that accident. Today Cody and I both learned a lesson in water safety. We will always be careful when we swim in the sea.
由紀的日記
親愛的日記:
今天下午非常的熱,所以寇弟跟我決定要去海裡游泳。我們聽說有一個美麗的海灘,想去看看。一切都很完美,直到一件可怕的意外發生。我嚇壞了,因為寇弟差一點就溺死了。
大約在下午三點時,寇弟跟我到達海灘。很少人知道這個地方,所以現場除了我們之外只有一位漁夫。我們游了一段時間,玩得很開心。我游泳完後,在岸邊休息,並享受海浪的聲音。寇弟仍在離海灘很遠的地方游泳。他是我們學校裡最好的泳者,所以我一點都不擔心。
突然間,一個大浪打在寇弟的身上,他開始掙扎。他大聲呼救,那位漁夫就把船划過去救他。我打給 119,援助很快就到了。寇弟在他們對他做心肺復甦術後醒過來。真是謝天謝地!
「今天真是我人生中最糟糕,卻也是最幸運的一天。謝謝你把我拉出水面。」寇弟跟漁夫說。
「這沒什麼。只是要記得游泳總要在海灘附近游。巨浪是很危險的。」漁夫說道。
我永遠不會忘記那場意外。今天寇弟和我兩人都學到了關於水上安全的一課。以後我們在海邊游泳時,一定會小心的。
