I had always been afraid of swimming. I disliked the feeling of water around me and the
sensation of being submerged. Despite my fear, my parents encouraged me to learn how to
swim.
My parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the local pool. I attended the first lesson
with nerves. I was about to turn and leave when I heard a gentle voice beside me. A senior girl
took my hand and led me into the water. She showed me how to float on my back and guided
me with encouragement.
At first, I felt awkward, but then I grew more confident. I kicked my legs and moved my
arms. As I swam, I began to enjoy it. The fear was replaced by a sense of joy and freedom. I
was excited as I splashed and played. Therefore, I understood why my friends loved swimming
so much.
From that day on, I embraced swimming enthusiastically. I practiced every day, determined
to improve my skills and explore the wonders of the underwater world. As I dove, beneath the
surface, I realized that sometimes the things we fear the most could become our greatest
passion.

Read the text and answer the question.

Once upon a time, in a forest, there lived a little sparrow named Sammy.
One sunny day, Sammy heard a cry for help. Following the sound, he saw a beautiful
crown lying in a bush. It was adorned with glittering jewels and precious gems. Sammy carefully
picked up the crown and saw a message attached to it. “The one who returns this crown to its
rightful owner will be rewarded with great wealth.”
Sammy asked his friends in the forest if they had lost a crown, but no one claimed it.
As he traveled through the forest, Sammy met animals who admired the crown and urged
him to keep it. “Why search for the owner when you can be a king yourself?” they said.
He replied, “I cannot keep something that does not belong to me. I must find the rightful
owner.” Then he continued to find the crown owner.
His journey was not easy. He faced wild storms, crossed dangerous rivers, and climbed
steep mountains, but he didn’t give up.
Finally, he reached a castle where a king was worried looking for his lost crown. Sammy
returned it, and the king was happy. He rewarded Sammy not only with endless riches, as
promised in the message, but also with something even more precious: friendship.

16. From Sammy’s character in the text, we can learn that we should be …

Grew up in a small town and when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window, dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy, I would pray

Trying hard to reach out, but when I tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me, wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here, so I prayed
I could break away

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly

I’ll do what it takes ‘til I touch the sky
And I’ll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget all the ones that I love
I’ll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away

Wanna feel the warm breeze, sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean, get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away, and break away
