My Mind-Shifting Qomolangma Swim
Lewis Pugh is a famous swimmer, who swam across the North Pole in 2007. The water there was so cold his fingers were (freeze). Why did Pugh do this? Well, he wants people(pay) attention to global warming.
As a boy, Lewis visited national parks and he learned how fragile and (amaze) the Earth is. Now he (intend) to protect the Earth. He decided to swim in water near the North Pole to bring attention to the melting glaciers. Lewis said that the swim was so painful that would be his last time swimming in freezing water. when he heard about Lake Imja, near Mt. Qomolangma, high in the Himalayas, he decided to swim in cold water again.
Mt. Qomolangma is the (tall) mountain in the world and swimming there is very difficult. Because of global warming, glaciers on Mt. Qonolangma are melting and leaving lake behind, Lake Imja.
Lewis says he learned two (lesson) from swimming at Mount Qomolangma. First, he learned that people can unintentionally do a lot of damage. We do things which hunt the Earth because we know no other way to live. Second, We can all do we can to protect our environment if we change the way we think and think more about our future.
