Learning Skating

There is a big skating ground near our school. In winter, I often go skating there, and I enjoy the sport very much.

At first, I only went there to watch others skating. Some with good skills could skate wonderfully. I admired them from the bottom of my heart. But I couldn't do it myself. I was only an onlooker. How I longed to skate myself!

I began to make up my mind to learn it. But as soon as I stepped on the ice, I stumbled over myself. At once, some people caught me, and I turned red over their laughter. I became so disappointed that I decided to give up. When I was about to leave, a girl came towards me with a smile and said, "Never mind, try again and you will succeed." I tried again and again, but still fell again and again. I put up with the wounds and pains and stood up and went on trying. At that moment, the girl came up again. She said loudly to me, "Ok, you are doing very well." Then she signed a "V" to me with her fingers. I was very obliged, and with her encouragement, I made great progress. Soon, I could skate quite well.

While doing anything, we often meet many kinds of setbacks, but we shouldn't lose heart, we should overcome them with confidence instead of getting away from them. Then we will gain one victory after another.

學滑冰

我們學校附近有一個大型溜冰場。冬季里，我常去溜冰，因為我很喜歡這項體育活動。

起初，我只是跑去看別人滑。有些人滑得真好，我從心底里羨慕他們。但我不會，只能當觀眾。我多么想自己去滑呀。

我決心去試試。但是，一踏上冰場我就重重地摔倒了。隨即引來一陣笑聲。我被笑聲激紅了臉，覺得很沮喪，就準備離開場地。正要離開時，一個女孩子微笑著向我走來說：“沒關系，再試試，你會成功的。”

于是，我又一遍一遍地試起來，但仍是一次次地摔倒，我忍著傷痛站起來繼續滑。這時，那女孩又走過來，大聲說道：“好，你做得很好。”接著向我打了個“V”形手勢。我非常感激她。在她的鼓舞下，我學得很快，不久就能滑得很好了。做任何事情都會遇到各種挫折，但我們決不能失去信心，應該充滿自信克服困難，而不是躲避困難，那么我們就必將從一個勝利走向另一個勝利。
