Read the following text to answer questions number 1 to 7

I’ve had pretty bad experiences in the past. When I was 10 years old, I played in the pool with
my father, mother and brother.

We are very happy because it is the first time to go to the swimming pool with all family
members.
When I came to the swimming pool, I saw that there were various kinds of swimming pools for
small children, teenagers and adults.

Mom and dad told me to play in the swimming pool for small children because the depth can
still be overcome. While my brother played in the place of teenagers.

At first I was very lonely because there was no one I knew in the children’s pool. Then I came to
where my brother was playing and got into her pool.

It turned out to be very deep and made me sink. Luckily my brother could swim and
immediately saved me.
