短文改错i can’t swim so i have a strong fear of water. look back at my childhood, i think that three reasons might explain fear. firstly, i am not allowed to go near the water when i was a child, as my mother had an unreasonable fear of it. therefore, i was taught to see to the water as something danger. secondly, my eyes became bad when i was five. if i took off my glass in the water, i couldn’t see something, and this increased my fear. what’s worse, for a child i once saw a neighbor drowned. since then i have been more frightening.
