Composition 2: ( deadline 5th November )

.Option a: A childhood memory 
Example: 

Mrs. Buck asked us to write, "Memory from Childhood". When I took my pen, I had many memories from my childhood. Just like Mrs. Buck today in class said, "Brainstorming". Which one should I choose? I feel it's difficult. Suddenly I felt I saw a river and I sank in the river. Ok, let me talk about this event.
In my hometown there is a river. After school, many students went there and swam, but my parents didn't allow me to swim there. One reason was every year almost one or two people died in the river. The second was I was very thin and weak, my parents worried about that.
One afternoon, I didn't have class; my friends and I went outside to play. We went to the river and they swam in the river, they were very happy. I stood on the bank. I really wanted to swim, but I was afraid, at that moment one friend talked to me, "The water is shallow. You can swim in here and I can teach you." I walked down to the river and she taught me. After half an hour she said, " You practice in here, I want to swim a while." I practiced again and again. When I stood up, I felt the water was deep and I sank in the water. Suddenly a hand caught me. It was my friend.
I went home, I didn't talk to my parents. After a week my parents knew that event, they were very angry. My father has a friend, he knew that thing and told my father, "Your daughter is very thin, she needs to do exercises. I can teach her to swim." My father thought he was right and allowed me to swim. Therefore I could swim everyday.
