Why I don’t like swimming.

I never liked swimming. First, because of the tactile sensation of the water, I hate to put
my face underwater, especially if it's cold. Secondly, I can't swim under the water, I
swim very slowly. Finally, because I have fear of depth, especially when I can't see the
bottom of the sea. Those are the real reasons of why I can't find any enthusiasm on
swimming.

Topic two: Write a paragraph using an explanation

What freedom means to me

Freedom is being able to do many things without being forced into doing something. If I
didn't have freedom , I could not make decisions about what kind of job I want, or what
college I want to attend. I might even be forced to get married at a young age. In
summary less freedom would equal being "all controlled".

Topic three: Write a paragraph using an example

A unusual holiday.

Always I've had to work on my vacation and not a good experience. For example I can
not spend time with my family on Christmas and New years, or go to parties because I
come back to my house very tired. I recommend rest to start a good academic year.
