Lesson 12 Life on a desert island

Key to Composition

A possible answer

Shipwrecked

The ship went down and everyone was drowned. I was the only one who managed to jump into the sea. I clung to a plank in the wa¬ter for several hours till I was washed up on a desert island. 

I slept on the beach for a very long time — I can't remember how long. When I woke up, I was hungry and thirsty, so I decided to explore the island. It was uninhabited, but I found plenty of fruit which had fallen from the trees. I lived on coconuts and pineapples and there was plenty of fresh spring water. I tried to hunt wild animals with my bare hands(small pigs and other creatures), but I failed to catch anything. So I spent my days swimming in the warm clear water and lying in the sun. 

One afternoon while I was lying on the beach as usual, I saw a boat on the horizon. I signaled with my while shirt and shouted as loudly as I could. Fortunately, someone on the boat saw me and I was rescued. Of course, I was pleased to get back to civilization, but 1 was very sorry to leave this island paradise. (200 words)
