The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.

The same cycle went on until the summer two years ago. That summer my dad took me to his village, and I had the most thrilling but the most frightening experience in my life. The village is a peaceful place by a river, with green fields around. We stayed for a week in my grandparents’ house, with my aunt, uncle and my cousin Tam. I was eager to explore new things in the countryside. Every day, Tam took me to ride a buffalo in the field. It was so pleasant and exhilarating to sit on the buffalo, watching the scenery around, and listening to birds singing. Tam sat before me on the buffalo, supervising it to wade through the river or the rice field. I experienced the happiest days in my life until the fourth day when an accident happened. When Tam urged the animal to run faster. The faster it ran, the more exciting we felt. Then suddenly I loosed hold of Tam, and fell down. I felt hurt and terrified; but luckily I wasn’t seriously injured. I still remember the terror until now. Anyway, it was indeed a “once in a lifetime” kind of exciting experience for me. 21.
