示范答案：
Swimming is my favorite sport. I think it is one of the best forms of physical exercises and a versatile sport. It’s also a marvelous way to unwind and keep fit.
I often go swimming in a fitness club near my home with my friend or my parents. I think it’s a popular sport because all people can do it, you know, kids, elderly people, young folks or even babies. Apart from a formfitting bathing suite or bathing trunks, you need no other special equipments for swimming. What you need to do is just to overcome your fear of water. I learned swimming when I was a school child. It was really an exciting and interesting experience. When I was in water, I screamed and struggled as if being mad. Fortunately, I had a patient coach, who gave me lots of encouragement and guidance. He instructed me how to keep the best possible position by getting the body straight and long. Then he taught me the fundamentals of breathing patterns above and under water. When I got the hang of these I felt comfortable and mastered swimming strokes soon.
Now I can do things like breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle and even butterfly. I enjoy swimming not only because it keeps me fit, but that it builds up my tenacity and confidence. The feeling of overcoming the fear and managing to touch the end wall is thrilling.
