In my opinion, the most difficult to learn for me that is swimming. Because I don’t know how to swim but my parents told me I have to learn how to swim when I was young until now. But I don’t like to go to swimming. Actually I really like water especially swimming pool or at the beach. I really like to go into the water to enjoy the wave or something like that but I cannot swim. The reason I told that is really difficult because when the first time I learned it is very hard to keep myself balanced on the water or how to follow the wave, follow the water to move around the water in the swimming pool. The second one, when I go into the water, if I am not tall, I will go in the middle of water like I’m not floating on the water I can float inside the water. But until now actually I cannot swim very good but I can float I can keep balance on the water. So I think that not really difficult in this time and I can swim better than when I was young.

In my opinion, the most difficult skill for me to learn is swimming. I didn't know how to swim, but my parents told me I had to learn when I was young, and that continues until now. However, I don't like going to swimming lessons. Actually, I really like water, especially swimming pools or the beach. I enjoy going into the water to experience the waves or something like that, but I cannot swim. The reason I say it is really difficult is that when I first learned, it was very hard to keep myself balanced in the water and to follow the waves, to move around in the swimming pool. Secondly, when I go into the water, if I am not tall, I will be in the middle of the water, and I am not floating; I can float inside the water. But until now, I cannot swim very well, but I can float and keep my balance in the water. So I think it is not really difficult at this time, and I can swim better than when I was young.
