Well，this is it…I'm taking my first water-skiing（滑水） lesson tomorrow morning．I'm a little nervous，but it'll be an adventure．
June 13
I met my teacher early this morning．Before we started，he said I had to practice on dry land．First，he asked me to sit down on the ground．Then he gave me the"tow rope"（拖绳），the line that will connect me to the boat．While he held the rope，I had to stand up only using the power in my legs．It wasn't easy．I'm just not used to doing that!He also told me to remember one important thing-I must drop the tow rope immediately if I fall over．
Then the fun really began．We put the equipment（装备）into the boat and went out deep water．My teacher said that he would start the boat slowly and then go faster．My job was to stand up when the boat was going quickly．It sounded easy．But as soon as I stood up，I fell over．Then，I forgot to drop the rope!I went flying through the water and my skies（滑水板） came off．I felt really silly and we had to start it again．I tried this twenty-five times，but I could not stand up．Water-skiing is harder than I expected．

Today things were a little better．After five times，I was able to stand up．I waited until I found my balance on the skies，and then stood up slowly，I was surprised at how hard the water felt under the ski．Itwas like stone．Then wind on my face was really strong．I was water-skiing and it felt wonderful．

Today was even better than yesterday!There were some big waves and I learned how to move over a wave without falling．Tomorrow I'm going to try it using only one ski----I can't wait．
