When I was in medical college, I went camping with some of my friends. The season was summer; therefore, we chose to go to the seaside. After arriving there, we rented a room and left our luggage there. We finished lunch and then decided to rent a boat because the sea and the weather were beautiful.
We started to row, but about one mile out, the weather seemed to change. But we didn’t want to give up. After a while, the weather changed a lot. The waves got very high, and the boat began to shake. One of my friends started to cry; another started to vomit (呕吐). My friends and I agreed that we should go back.
We tried to change the boat’s direction, but as soon as we changed it, the oarlock (桨架) suddenly broke. Therefore, we were unable to turn back. We had to wait for help because we couldn’t do anything. Three hours passed, but nobody came to help us.
We shouldn’t have continued to row when the weather began to change, but it was too late. The only thing we could do was just praying. Fortunately, after five long hours of waiting, two big boats came to rescue us and we escaped. If they hadn’t come to get us, we would have lost our lives.
This story is the most exciting story of my life because we could have died, but luck was with us and we escaped.
