The sport is not so common in China, but almost half of all American high schools have rowing teams. Recently, the school where I study had a rowing season that gave me many great experiences.During the season, we practiced rowing a lot. We got up at six every Saturday morning and practiced for three hours on the river. Each one of us had an oar(桨) and we each rowed one oar with both hands. Together we pulled the oars, and the oars pushed the water back so the boat would move forward. After three hours of practice, we often felt very tired, because rowing is a very physical sport.

At every practice, I always did my best. Even when the coaches were not there. I kept rowing hard with my hands because I wanted to find out how well I could do.
