　　When I was a boy, I liked swimming very much. One year my two brothers and I spent the summer holidays with my uncle and aunt in their house by the sea. It was twenty metres from the water. Every day we put on swimming shirts before breakfast, ran down to the sea and jumped in. From then until late in the afternoon we were in the sea most of the time. When our aunt rang a bell, we went to the house for food, but we ate in our swimming shorts and were soon back in the sea again. The water was warm, the sun shone every day, and on most days there were no waves. In the middle of the day a wind always began to blow, but it was not strong.

　　Three times during our holidays we had strong winds. They made big waves in the sea. But we were all good swimmers, and we didn't stop swimming until we were tired and hungry.
