It's
a small ranch near the sea, in the Atlantic forest of Brasil.
There is a small waterfall there. It's my first time there.
Late at night, after a pizza, my brother in law said "Let
me introduce you to the waterfall". There's no light
around. Only these insects with light (I don't know the name
in English, sorry), and we walk through the trees and the
sound of the water getting louder. We get to some huge rocks
and there it is: the waterfall. I can't see it, but it's there.
My brother in law said: 4 steps to your right, 2 meters below
you have a natural pool. You can dive in your head, it's 3
meters depth.
I said: Are you sure, my life is in your hands. He confirmed
and I jumped. For 1⁄2 a second the waterfall stopped
to roar, my mind was fool, the blood was hot and then I dived
in the most incredible coldest amazing water. |

Some people
probably don’t understand how such a thing can thrill
you; explain it to them. |
|
| 15.A |
We have
problems to walk in the dark, always with the hand ahead trying
to avoid obstacles. What about run in the dark with someone
else driving you with the voice " to the right , to the
left, run....". |
|
| |
| 16.Q |
What three
changes could have made the experience better, and why? |
|
| 16.A |
It could
be higher so this 1⁄2 a second could take longer. It could
have some small light at the bottom, just to see the things
under the water. It could happen again. |

anything you want to add? |

In the
