Question

Laura lived in a small village near the sea. One day she decided to go for a swim in the sea. She knew that the sea near the village had a strong tide(浪), but she was a good swimmer, so she wasn’t afraid. Laura left her friends lying on the sands and ran into the sea. She swam quite far out from the beach and waved(招手) to her friends in the distance. After a short while she decided to swim back. She tried her best, but she couldn’t get any closer to the beach. The tide kept pulling her back. She waved her arms in the air to let her friends know that she was in trouble, but they just waved back, for they didn’t know what she meant. After a long time, Laura became very tired and she couldn’t swim any more. Her legs went down and she lost hope. Suddenly, her foot touched the sand!
