Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration for millions through her story of faith,determination and hope.And now her story has become a major movie which is entitled Soul Surfer.
Born into a family of surfers on February 8,1990,on the island of Kauai Hawaii,Bethany began surfing at a young age.At the age of eight,Bethany entered her first surf competition---- winning both the short and long board divisions and sparking a love for surf competition within her spirit.
On October 31,2003,at the age of 13.Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii.Bethany said, "It came out of the blue.I had no warning at all;not even the slightest sign of danger on the horizon.The waves were small and inconsistent,and I was just kind of rolling along with them,relaxing on my board with my left arm dangling (懸擺) in the cool water.I remember thinking,'I hope the surf picks up soon…'"
"That's all it took:a split second.I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast tugs(猛拽) .Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red.Somehow,I stayed calm.My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard…"
Her friends had to get her to the beach which took 20 minutes of paddling.After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries,Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude.
In January 2004,Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping,Bethany continued to enter and shine in competitions.Initially,she adopted a custom-made board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm,making it easier to paddle,and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm.
Just over a year after the attack,she took first place---- winning her first National Title.Now she competes with the world's best and travels the globe.

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
