It was an afternoon in the winter, some friends and I were talking at a restaurant. We talked and soon swimming became the   36  . Suddenly I hit upon an idea．“Wouldn’t it be _37_ if we went swimming? Others went swimming in winter, and _38_ couldn’t we? Besides, we could be _39_ if we did．” I told them about this and they all said it was a good idea indeed．

Early in the morning, three days _40_, we four were standing at the bus stop, with bags in our hands, _41_ for a bus to take us to the _42_． The sky was clear, the sun was shining, but all the same, it was very cold． _43_ our heavy overcoats were not enough to keep us _44_． We all felt that we should go back, but no one wanted to _45_．

We soon reached the sands． There was nobody there, but we were not to be discouraged． _46_ we were proud that we were the _47_ ones that dared to challenge(向……挑战) the weather． Besides, the sun could keep us warm． So we _48_ ourselves quickly．

But things were not going to be so nice as we thought． The sea wind was blowing, we felt _49_ cold and we shook from head to feet． At last, we decided to _50_ the sea water． We put our feet in first, only to take them back _51_．The water was unbelievably cold．The I   52  that we should all jump in at the same time． We all went back ten steps． I gave the order and we all rushed forward．We jumped．I shall never   53  the feeling I had when I was in the water. I got up and rushed against to the seaside. So _54_ my friends．We put on our clothes as quickly as possible and went home．

We four did not go to school the next three days, for we all _55_ a bad cold． We missed the lessons, but we got this unforgettable experience．
