Solution
Tree climbing is a recreational or functional activity consisting of ascending and moving around in the crown of trees. Climbing up a tree was a very popular activity when I was an elementary school student. I was a tomboy and preferred to go outside everyday playing with some friends. One day, during a break between classes, I was as usual trying to climb up a tree. It was quite thin and not very tall; also the tree which I chose was located in front of a park. In the park, there were many people who were almost all students of the same school.
I climbed up steadily and finally arrived at the top of the tree. I could feel the fresh wind and survey the view. The weather was warm and sunny. After I was satisfied I tried to climb down quickly because it was time to get back to class. I got caught in one of the branches and couldn’t move further. It was so embarrassing because all my friends were watching. A couple of minutes later, my teacher ran to the bottom part of the tree with a worried face and helped me to climb’ down safely.
