Few years ago in winter I went with my boyfriend Adam to a tropical island in Africa. We stayed in a nice hotel, not far from a beach. The beginnig of our holidays was great; after long weeks of hard work we could finally relax. We got up late and spent a lot of time lying on the beach and swimming in the ocean or sunbathing. However, during that holidays, something really scary happend to us.
That morning I wale up quite early. Outside the widnow, the sun was shining and the sky was blue-it was going to be a beautiful day, an ideal day rent a motor boat and to go on a trip that we had planned three days before. We quckly got up, ate breakfast and went to marina. However, the man who rented us a motor boat, warned us: "You'd better be careful, last night some fishermen saw some sharks in the area. Your trip is rather risky, you don't have much experience with sharks, do you?"
"No, we don't", said Adam, "In fact, we've never seen sharks".
"If I were you, I would stay onshore today."
"But we're not going to swim in the ocean, we're going on a trip in the motor boat", I said, "I think we'll be safe."
And so we went. Actually, I do not remember why we wanted to go on that trip but it was an amazing experience when we found ourselves far from the shore, so far that we could not see any alnd at all. Adam were enjoying driving the motor boat and he wanted it to go faster. He did not notice that I had stood up to have a better view of the ocean and when he suddenly speeded and turned left, I lost my balanse and, screaming, fell into water.
That is all I can remember since I lost consciousness and went underwater. What happenes next I know only from Adam who told me about it. When he realized what had happened, he jumped into water to rescue me. However, as soon as he found himself in the ocean, he noticed three white objects aproaching him very quckly. He knew they weres sharks and he knew that we were both in danger. Adam dived undervater to find me but, as he told me, he was sure that neither of us would survive. Fortunately, the accident was noticed by the crew of a yacht which was sailing not far from the place where I had fallen into water. They managed to drive sharks away and then helped Adam to find me underwater and to bring me back to life. When I regained consciousness and was told what had happened, I realized that I was lucky to be alive...
