阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,是之构成一个完整的故事。
“If mum finds out that I'm going to the beach, I'll be in big trouble.” I said to myself softly in a low voice.
I went downstairs slowly and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking towards the back door, mum asked without looking up from her “dish-washing”, “Where are you going?” I answered back without hesitation, “I am going to the garden to play.” After I got out of the kitchen, I breathed a sign of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top speed.
After half an hour I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends, Joyce and Loren. Two young men were racing in the canoes (独木舟). After a while, I saw them near a coconut tree. Iran towards them and got into my swimming trunk (游泳裤). For about an hour, we played volleyball happily.
Suddenly, Loren hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Loren was going to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I wanted to show off my swimming skills so I declared to help get the ball for them.
I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was going to get the ball, a very strong current swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed (海草)tangled (缠绕) up with my feet and I could not swim properly. I struggled to keep afloat but it was no use. “If I had listened to my parents, this would never have happened,”I thought silently.

How to Protect Wildlife
Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions can help protect many different animals. 1.
● Create wildlife friendly areas. When trying to make your garden more beautiful, choose plants that can provide food and shelter to native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. 2.
● 3. By using less water and fewer fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway when you can and turn off electric devices when you’re not using them.
● Buy products that are wildlife-friendly. 4. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, catches or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
● Limit family size. Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction. With the rapidly growing population, more and more habitats for wildlife are occupied by humans. 5. In this way, the Earth’s population will stabilize and native habitats can be protected.
