Task 3: No More Fear

Hi, my name’s Matthew, and I want to talk about my love of water. I had a fear of water when I

was young. That fear kept me away from water. That was because once I was pushed into the

swimming pool by a classmate when I was eight and first arrived in Australia from Vietnam 1. That

experience was horrible 2. I was down at the deep end, struggling, and I thought I was going to

drown. It was a big fear. The next thing that happened was my teacher, dressed in full clothes,

jumped in, and rescued me. Then I started to like that teacher who happened to be my English

teacher. My English was broken as English was my second language. I didn’t want to learn

English or speak English. Then I changed. I find it to be an amazing experience. Now my fear

Of water has gone. I just actually love water now, and I’m interested in English as well. I’m a

Bit more, let’s say, a bit more confident in speaking English now, I think. I’m no longer worried

about my broken English. I don’t care if people laugh. I just find it fun to speak English. And I

don’t feel ashamed 3 of myself when other people correct the mistakes in my English.

1. C) Vietnam  2. D) All of the above.   3. B) He jumped into the pool to save the speaker.

4. A) English was not his native language.  

5. A) Because his English teacher saved him from drowning, he came to like both water and    

   English.
