Reading: My first rafting adventure
“Last summer, my family and I went rafting in Köprülü Canyon. At first, I was really nervous because the water was very fast. Our guide gave us life jackets and helmets and explained the safety rules. While we were going down the river, our raft hit a rock and my brother fell into the water! Luckily, he was wearing a life jacket, so we pulled him back quickly. It was the most thrilling day of my life. I have never been so excited before!”
