Dear Alice,  How have you been doing? Have you got any plan for the coming school break? Perhaps I will go to see my parents in the countryside. Let me tell you about my last summer vacation at my grandparents’. It was one year ago and was one of my most unforgettable experience.There is a river at the back of my grandparents’ house, and I often go swimming there when I spend my vacation with them.One day when I was swimming with my friends, I suddenly caught a cold. I felt so dizzy and was too weak to continue. I thought I was going to drown but I couldn’t call out for help. Luckily one of my friend saw that. He swam towards me and tried to pull me up. My life was finally saved.Now recalling that moment I understand how precious life is. This event taught me to appreciate my life. What about you? Have you got any unforgettable holiday that you would like to share with me? With best wishes, Son
