But things were not going so 26 . The freezing sea wind was blowing. We felt very cold and trembled all over. At 27 we made up our minds to go into the water. We put our feet in first 28 to take them back very quickly. The water was unbelievably cold. Then I suggested we all jump in 29 . We all went back ten steps. I gave the 30 , and we all rushed forward and jumped in. I shall never forget the moment I was in the water. I was up 31 and rushed again to the shore. 32 it was with my friends. We put on our clothes as quickly as possible.

　On the way back home, we talked about this unforgettable 33 . The four of us did not 34 school for the following three days. We all suffered a lot 35 a very bad cold. But we thought it was all worth it.
