Dongyuan Primary School plays skating highlights.

One day during the winter vacation, my mother took me skating in Vientiane City, Hangzhou. I'm a little scared and a little excited. I'm afraid of falling and getting hurt and giving people jokes. What is exciting is that I have learned another skill.

We came to the skating rink, where it was very lively. I saw everyone walking on the skating rink like hot wheels. Some of them advance, some retreat, some turn around, and some land on one foot. . . . . Everyone is as light as a swallow. Watching others slide effortlessly, I can't wait to play trapeze. I quickly put on my skates and walked to the skating rink. I thought skating was just a little more difficult than walking, but as soon as I stepped onto the ice, I found it was quite different from what I expected. My feet are completely out of control. I stood on the ice clutching the railing and didn't dare to move for fear of falling. Just when I was at a loss, the coach came to me and said, "Little friend, let me teach you how to skate." Like a savior, I immediately took her hand and set off.

The coach told me that my feet should be open, my body should be tilted at 45 degrees, and my hands should be stretched out to keep balance. I practiced falling over and over again, and I fell and got up again. My hair was soaked with sweat, and slowly I learned to keep my balance and move forward. At this time, the coach assumed a posture of following me, following me and letting me skate slowly. I slipped out more than ten meters at a time. Wow! I finally learned, I laughed and shouted. Although I fell a lot, I was very happy because I learned a new skill and finally learned to skate.

Through learning skating this time, I also understand that there is nothing I can't learn as long as I make up my mind and stick to it.
