3 . It was a hot summer day a few years ago. I had just pulled into the local gas station. After pumping the gas I started to walk inside to pay. That was when I noticed them. Two elderly women were standing back from their car. There was a mixture of shock and fear on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw. Five yellow jackets had started to build a nest around their gas cap. My eyes widened. I shared the ladies’ fear.

Yellow jackets had never been friends of mine. Several times these wasps (黄蜂) had attacked me while I was gardening. They gave me multiple stings (蜇) each time I ran over their ground nests. They are the reason I never do gardening in shorts anymore. The worst time, however, happened when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were running and playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their hidden nests again because before I knew it both of us were being chased and stung over and over by the yellow jackets while we ran away screaming. I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes. She immediately ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease (缓解) the pain before giving us medicine.

Still, I knew I couldn’t let fear stop me now. I reached into my back pocket for a paper towel I had there, tore out the nest and stepped on it while the angry wasps buzzed around me. Both of the ladies thanked me and I said, “You’re welcome!” with a smile and a happy heart.

My grandparents live in a small mountain village, in that there are many trees grew well, including several walnut trees. Every year my grandparents gave me walnuts and last year Grandpa told me with a sadly look on his face that he had no walnuts. I asked why. He said the squirrels lad eaten both the walnuts. I was very surprised, because we had never had squirrels there ago. Grandpa sad probably the squirrels had brought from the south. He said he wouldn’t let them get away with then bad deeds. I try to persuade Grandpa not to hurt the lovely squirrels, promising I would rather not to eat walnuts. Grandpa agreed to his request.

6 . At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the YMCA offering exactly the opportunity. My mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the YMCA pool was safe.

I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and my father took me to the beach.The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.

The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on one side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, how’d you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end.I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits—when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump to come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.

When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.

I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by.It deprived(剥夺) me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not .Sometimes the terror would return. 

This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Went worth.Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr Terror, what do you think you can do to me?” I had conquered my fear of water.

Yesterday morning, it was early and I hadn’t went to school. I stood in front of my home, seen my parents off to work. My neighbor started driving to her job, too. Out of polite, I waved to her. At same time, I called out to my parents, “Bye! I love you!” I smiled as my neighbor turned around. And then he waved back at me. My heart sank down. My face grew hot with embarrassments. But soon it turns into a good laugh. I learnt a lesson that day which one should always be friendly, but be more carefully with multi-person goodbyes.
