As I got out of the pool and began to dry myself, the girl jumped 73 the water again. After some time, she still hadn't come out, 74 I began to worry. I ran to the end of the pool, and saw her struggling (挣扎) under the water. I jumped in to help her, and 75 that her long hair was caught by something at the bottom of the pool. I tried to 76 her get free, but I failed.
I swam to the surface (水面) and shouted for help, but there was 77 there. I noticed a bottle on a table near the pool, so I climbed out, broke the bottle and jumped 78 into the water with a piece of the broken glass. I 79 the girl's hair with it and set her free and dragged (拖) her to the surface.
Then the lifeguard arrived. He called the girl's 80 . When they heard what had happened, they kept thanking me for saving the girl's life.
