3. Plot
• David joined his school swimming team about 2 years ago.
• One day, he was told to represent his school to take part in a swimming
competition. He knew that he will face a strong competitor, Brandon always
win in swimming competitions. For the upcoming competition, everyone
supposes Brandon will definitely win.
• David is getting worried that he cannot win the competition. Despite all the
doubts he got from outsiders, his parents encouraged him, saying that they will
get him anything he wants if he won the competition.
• He wants to win so badly so he asked for help from his coach and his coach
guided him selflessly with some skills and correct posture of swimming. His
coach helped him a lot during training.
• The training experiences gave him confidence. During competition, he
performed better than he usually did and finally, he got champion. His family
and friends were so proud of him.
• After that, he started to become popular in his school. Thus it makes a part of
the students there started to adore him even when they don’t really know him
and they suppose that he is clever too.
