Week Six Text Blog Entry Four - a narrative or recount

This is about 13 - years old - born Stephanie Benningtonswim across Cook Srait. She is the youngest person to do the swim. To do this she had to battle through hordes of jellyfish and cold waters to complete her swim in eight hours and 10 minutes. She came ashore at Perano Head at the tip of the South Island about 5:30pm yesterday after beginning her marathon swim earlier in the day south of Makara beach on Wellingt0n"s South coast. One of her support crew was Phillip Rush who has made two double crossings and described her swim as impresive. I chose this article because I think this girl is very brave. Most of the verb forms which explain what happened are in the past simple form. There is one example of the present perfect simple -"who has achieved a double crossing of the Cook Strait." indicate the event took place before the time being referred to.
