Sunday，October 16 Fine
Today was one of the best days of my life，as I did a skydive for the first time．
I was really nervous when I got onto the plane and it began to fly higher into the sky．All my family and friends were waiting in a field down below．To stop myself from feeling afraid，I had to keep telling myself why I was doing it．
I decided two weeks ago to take part in this skydive for charity because I wanted to raise money to build a library at my local school．I asked everyone I knew to sponsor（贊助） me．People were very generous．Since then I have spent hours every day learning the skills．
It was not long before the day arrived and I was walking onto the plane．It seemed hours had gone by as we started on the runway and took off into the clouds，but it can only have been a few minutes．The teacher checked everything for us one last time before opening the door．The cold wind rushed in，and I felt my heart beat faster．Finally，it was my turn to jump．The teacher then put his hand on my back and pushed me out of the plane!
Suddenly，I was falling through the sky．I was probably around three kilometers above the ground and going at a high speed．The plane disappeared in a few seconds，and I was completely alone，with the ground getting closer and closer all the time．It may seem a strange thing to say，but I felt as if I were a bird and quickly forgot all my worries and fears．
After around 30seconds，I pulled the cord of the parachute（降落傘）on my back．I felt it pull me upwards as it opened，and then I began to float downwards to the ground below．Soon I landed in a field where my family were waiting．
I found it exciting to fall through the sky，but I was also very happy to have both my feet back on the ground again．
