Learning something new can be a scary experience. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do was
learning how to swim. I was always afraid of the water, but I decided that swimming was an important skill that I should learn. I also thought it would be good exercise and help me to become physically stronger. What I didn’t realize was that learning to swim would also make me a more confident person. New situations always make me a bit nervous, and my first swimming lesson was no exception. After I changed into my bathing suit in the locker room, I stood timidly by the side of the pool waiting for the teacher and other students to show up. After a couple of minutes the teacher came over. She smiled and introduced herself, and two more students joined us. Although they were both older than me, they didn’t seem to be embarrassed about not knowing how to swim. I began to feel more at ease.

Pepperoni is often put on a pizza. It is actually a type of cured sausage made from beef. "Cured" means salty to protect against bacteria which are dangerous for people. Sometimes cured sausages are made of turkey or chicken to reduce both fat and calories. Pepperoni is mixed with red pepper or other spices and takes a reddish colour. It is typically cut in small, thin circles. The word "pepperoni" means "big peppers" in Italian, though pepperoni has nothing to do with Italy. Its actual origin is not known yet.
