Question

      Last summer, I went to a river trek（徒步旅行）with my mother and some British friends. The rocks in the river were so slippery （滑的） that it was hard for us to walk. We walked carefully, but the freezing water still flooded into our shoes and trousers. I was getting very cold and tired. I wanted to give up, but when I saw other kids moving so fast, I decided to follow them,            even though I was far behind. It was even more difficult during the last part of the walk. I became so tired that I lost my footing and fell several times. But with the help of my mother and my friends, I got to my feet and kept going each            time I fell.

At last, we arrived at a waterfall. Everybody jumped into the river from a high rock. When it was my turn, I was very scared and tried to hide around a corner. My friends noticed this and encouraged me, “Come on, Kevin! You can do this！” With my eyes closed, I jumped into the river.

Although I am not as strong as my British friends, I completed our trek. This experience made me realize that perseverance（坚持不懈）is, and will always be important to everyone in life!
