参考范文：

“Coming down the pool with us?” I seemed to be asked this question a thousand times in my first few weeks of university. It was hard to think of good excuses to turn down these kind invitations. People would probably not believe I was allergic to water. If I said my parents had drowned when I was young, people might avoid me as psychologically troubled, and anyway when my parents eventually turned up for graduation it would look odd. The one thing I could not tell them was I could not swim. In my part of the world there were practically no swimming opportunities and no one thought about it, but here it seemed to be assumed every normal person could swim. But I could not.

I decided to learn. How hard could it be? Fish did not look particularly intelligent to me, so if they could do it, surely, I, a university student, could. I took lessons. One of the first terrors of learning to swim is that you have to take most of your clothes off. Suddenly, I didn’t like my white skinny self— especially not when next to my tanned muscular tutor. The first thing he did was to lie to me. He told me people naturally float. I didn’t. I sank like lead to the bottom of the pool and was only saved from a watery grave with a great deal of effort.

I had ten lessons. How I dreaded each one. A race horse on land, I became a one-legged hippo (河马) in the water. I splashed and spluttered and made a fool of myself. If any fish had been by to see me, they would have cried with laughter. My tutor must have despaired of me and perhaps considered moving to the Gobi Desert so he could forget the entire experience.

But then suddenly the miracle happened. I was swimming, smoothly and naturally through the water. I had taken to swimming like … well, like a duck to water. I have never looked back. I just smile coolly when anyone asks me down the pool, nod and follow.

Fear not—you can learn to swim.
