My iPhone was drowned Last weekend, I went out for sea kayaking and I was practicing one of a self-rescue technique called "roll". A sea kayak is a kind of a small canoe. It's easy to capsize. When you capsized, sit in the kayak in the water upside down, sway the paddle in the water and flip over the kayak by yourself. This technique is called "roll". I paddled to a shallow point in a cove, then I started practicing roll. I was capsizing my kayak and trying flip over again. But it was not so easy to be able to do, I failed many times. I took off my spray skirt in the water, and hopped off the kayak. Then I emptied the kayak and turn over it using my hands. After that I reentered the kayak. It was so difficult to climb up a floating kayak and sit in the cockpit. I was practicing again and again. A couple of hours later, I almost mastered the technique. I had got the knack of it. After the practice, when I was landing, I found out my iPhone in my soaked pocket. It didn't work anymore.

Great piece! Very easy to read and sounded natural.  Keep in mind that "drown" is a verb typically used when talking about living things (people and animals who have died in the water).  Saying that an iPhone "drowned" is definitely a good use of the word and is common, since people think of their smartphones as being living things in a lot of ways that do die when they get dropped in water.  Just keep in mind that most non-living things can't drown.  A brick, a broom, or a bottle would not "drown" in the water"


Best,
