It was an afternoon in the winter, some friends and I were talking at a restaurant. We talked and soon swimming became the 36 . Suddenly I hit upon an idea.“Wouldn’t it be _37_ if we went swimming? Others went swimming in winter, and _38_ couldn’t we? Besides, we could be _39_ if we did.” I told them about this and they all said it was a good idea indeed.
Early in the morning, three days _40_, we four were standing at the bus stop, with bags in our hands, _41_ for a bus to take us to the _42_. The sky was clear, the sun was shining, but all the same, it was very cold._43_ our heavy overcoats were not enough to keep us _44_. We all felt that we should go back, but no one wanted to _45_.
We soon reached the sands. There was nobody there, but we were not to be discouraged. _46_ we were proud that we were the _47_ ones that dared to challenge(向……挑战) the weather. Besides, the sun could keep us warm. So we _48_ ourselves quickly.
But things were not going to be so nice as we thought. The sea wind was blowing, we felt _49_ cold and we shook from head to feet. At last, we decided to _50_ the sea water. We put our feet in first, only to take them back _51_.The water was unbelievably cold.The I 52 that we should all jump in at the same time. We all went back ten steps. I gave the order and we all rushed forward.We jumped.I shall never 53 the feeling I had when I was in the water. I got up and rushed against to the seaside. So _54_ my friends.We put on our clothes as quickly as possible and went home.
We four did not go to school the next three days, for we all _55_ a bad cold. We missed the lessons, but we got this unforgettable experience.
