Florence Chadwick was born in California in 1918．She grew up on the beach and began competing as a swimmer at the age of six，when her uncle entered her in a race．For the next 19years，she continued as a competitive swimmer．
On July 4，1952，at the age of 34，Chadwick attempted to become the first woman to swim 21miles across the Catalina Channel，from a port on the California coast．That day the ocean was ice cold，the fog was so thick that she could hardly see the support boats that followed her，and sharks swam around her．Several times，her support crew used guns to drive away the sharks．While Americans watched on televisions，her mother and her trainer，who were in one of the support boats，encouraged her to keep going．However，after 15hours and 55minutes，with only a half mile to go，she felt that she couldn't go on，and begged to be taken out of the water．
Later，Chadwick told a reporter，"Look，I'm not excusing myself，but if I had seen land I know，I could have made it．"The fog had made her unable to see her swimming goal，and it made her feel she was getting nowhere．Two months later，she tried again．Although the fog was still heavy，yet this time she made it with the goal rooted in her mind．She knew behind the fog was the land she pursued．

Goal and Success
An American woman swimmer Chadwick succeeded in crossing the Catalina Channel after failing in her first attempt．It was a goal in her mind that enabled her to make it．（高分句型一）（30词）
Chadwick failed in her first attempt because she couldn't see the"land"（goal） due to the"fog"（difficulty）．But later，she succeeded because she had"the goal rooted in her mind"despite the heavy"fog"．
From the story，we know we should understand the relation between the goal and the difficulty．The goal can encourage us to work hard to achieve success while the difficulty may prevent us from reaching our goal．（高分句型二）However，we can achieve our goal by overcoming any possible difficulties．
As students，we may meet with many difficulties in our study，but we can surely overcome them if we have a clear goal．（高分句型三）I wish all of us could break through the"fog"to reach the beautiful"land"．（121词）．
