Then, John was asked to jump into water and start to practise. John, however, was reluctant to jump into water. Instead, he asked the coach to give another round of demonstrations. So, the coach did.
Then, John was asked to jump into water and start to practise. John, however, was still reluctant to jump into water. He demanded another round of demonstrations. So, the coach did.
