Write a version of the same story, this time starting the story in the middle.
Last May, I decided to swim a mile without stopping. I knew I would need to be able to do it to join the Coast Guard, so I spent every morning practicing with my father. I thought of giving up many times. "I could be sleeping right now," I would cry out as my muscles ached. One morning, I started to doubt myself, so I imagined swimming to a person in need. Before I knew it, I could hear my dad clapping. I had done it!

"I could be sleeping right now", I thought as I felt aches shoot down my arms and legs, struggling for breath with every stroke. I started to doubt myself, so I imagined swimming to a person in need.

Last May, I decided to swim a mile without stopping. I knew I would need to be able to do it to join the Coast Guard, so I spent every morning practicing with my father. I had wanted to give up so many times, including the day I succeeded.

Thinking of saving a drowning person pushed me forward. Before I knew it, I could hear my dad clapping. I had done it!

The above question wants to assess your writing ability. For that reason, I can't write the story for you, but I'll show you how to do it.

First of all, you need to understand that rewriting history means that you must modify some elements of the original text, allowing the new text to be different, but still relatable to the old text.

Based on this, to write a different version of a story you must:

Read the original text.
Decide which elements you want to modify.
Decide which elements you want to keep.
Make an outline showing the main points of the story.

Regarding the story presented in the question above, you can modify the tiredness that the narrator feels when training with his father. You can make the narrator more excited and feel that training is more fun than tiring.
