Writing Assignment 1 (1st Version)

Whitewater Rafting
     I believe that every parent hopes their children can be happy as well as healthy for good. Therefore, most parents are willing to try their best and do everything they can to protect their own children. My parents are no exception. After graduating from high school, my friends and I decided to take a three-day trip in Hualien in summer vacation. My parents had no problem with the trip, but an activity we planed to do-whitewater rafting.
     They thought whitewater rafting is too dangerous. Actually, all my friends’ parents thought that way, too. Although my parents already knew that I am the person who enjoys exciting activities, such as riding the rollercoaster or the pirate ship in the amusement park. My parents still worried about me and my friends. My mother kept asking me whether I really want to go whitewater rafting with my friends, and my father kept telling me how dangerous that could be. They thought all of us were inexperienced and too weak to do it. Safety was my parents’ biggest concern. In a word, they did not want me to go whitewater rafting with my friends in the most famous river in Hualien.
     I could understand my parents’ worries and feelings. I told my parents that whitewater rafting was not as dangerous as they thought and promised them everything would be fine. To be honest, go whitewater rafting was one of the things which I was desperate to do and I felt this might be the only chance in my lifetime to do it. Also, I believed this special experience would be an unforgettable memory of my life. As the result, I insisted to go whitewater rafting with my friends. Without spending too much time persuading my parents; at the end, they gave in and allowed me to go whitewater rafting.
     To sum up, parents around the globe do hope their children can be happy, carefree and healthy forever. Children sometimes need their parents’ trust as well as support to experience new things and explore this world. Both parents and children need to keep learning how to love each other in their own ways.
